Handling Paper

General Guidelines
The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper (the type used in ordinary dry copier
machines), but it can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below.
NOTE: The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur when paper not satisfying
these requirements is used.
Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper can result in paper jams, curling,
poor print quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage the machine. The guidelines
given below will increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free printing
and reducing wear and tear on the machine.
Paper Availability
Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper intended for xerographic
copiers can also be used with the machine.
There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard, and premium. The most significant
difference between grades is the ease with which they pass through the machine. This is affected
by the smoothness, size, and moisture content of the paper, and the way in which the paper is cut.
The higher the grade of paper you use, the less risk there will be of paper jams and other problems,
and the higher the level of quality your printed output will reflect.
Differences between paper from different suppliers can also affect the machine’s performance. A
high-quality printer cannot produce high-quality results when the wrong paper is used. Low-priced
paper is not economical in the long run if it causes printing problems.
Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights (defined later). The traditional standard
weights are 60 to 105 g/m² (16 to 28 lb/ream).
