Paper Thickness
Paper thickness is given by the weight of the paper in either grams per square meter (g/
m2) or in pounds per bond (lbs/bond). The following table shows the allowable paper
thickness for one-part paper or for each sheet of multipart paper. The total thickness must
not exceed 0.35 mm (0.014 inch).
The weight of carbonless or carbon-backed paper may vary, depending on the paper
manufacturer. When using paper of borderline thickness, test the paper before running a
job.
Carbon-backed: Do not use in high humidity environments.
Carbon-interleaved: Avoid using single sheets format in carbon-interleaved.
