Guidelines for Using Paper
For best results, use conventional 20 lb (75 g/m
2
) paper. Make sure the paper
is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust,
wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges.
If you are unsure what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or
recycled), check the label on the package of paper.
Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the printer.
