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

between 100-400 Sheffield, 4%-
5% moisture content.
Dropout, jamming, curl Stored improperly Store paper flat in its moisture-
proof wrapping.
Increased gray background
shading/printer wear Too heavy Use lighter paper, use the rear
door.
Excessive curl problems with
feeding Too moist, wrong grain direction or
short-grain construction l Use the rear door.
l Use long-grain paper.
Jamming, damage to printer Cutouts or perforations Do not use paper with cutouts or
perforations.
Problems with feeding Ragged edges Use good quality paper.
NOTE: Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.
NOTE: Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
NOTE: The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Ensure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible
with this fusing temperature (180° C or 356° F for 0.1 second).
