Appendix B Paper Selection

Selecting the Right Paper

The following sections explain the basic things to look for when selecting paper. Keep these things in

mind when selecting paper.

Condition of the Paper

Avoid using paper that is folded at the corners, curled, dirty, stained, has a rough cut, fuzzy fibers,

rough surface or is easily torn.

Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing, misfeeding, and paper jams, and can

shorten the life of the printer. Select paper which has as smooth and even a surface as possible.

Note that use of paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment may damage the drum or

fuser unit.

Composition

Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and contains plastic or carbon. The heat of

fusing can cause such paper to give off harmful fumes, and may damage the drum.

Bond paper should contain at least 80% pulp. Not more than 20% of the total paper content should

consist of cotton or other fibers.
