Recommended paper specifications
2
The following paper specifications are suitable for this machine.
 Use paper made for plain paper copying.
 Use paper that is 70 to 90 g/m
2
.
 Use long grain paper with a neutral Ph value, and a moisture content of approx. 5%.
 This machine can use recycled paper that meets DIN 19309 specifications.
Handling and using special
paper
2
The machine is designed to work well with
most types of xerographic and bond paper.
However, some paper variables may have an
effect on print quality or handling reliability.
Always test samples of paper before
purchasing to ensure desirable performance.
Store paper in its original packaging and keep
it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from
moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
Some important guidelines when selecting
paper are:
 DO NOT use inkjet paper because it may
cause a paper jam or damage your
machine.
 Preprinted paper must use ink that can
withstand the temperature of the
machine’s fusing process 392 degrees
Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade).
 If you use bond paper, paper that has a
rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or
creased, the paper may exhibit degraded
performance.
