General Guidelines

4-4

Paper Size

Cassettes and an MP tray are available for the paper sizes listed in the

table below. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) for

the length and width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.

Smoothness

The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or

sandy surface can cause voids in the printed output. Paper that is too

smooth, however, can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems.

(Fogging is a gray background effect.)

Basis Weight

Basis weight is the weight of a standard quantity of paper. In the

traditional system, the standard quantity is a ream consisting of 500

sheets measuring 17 × 22 inches each. In the metric system the standard

quantity is 1 square meter.
Paper that is too light or too heavy can cause misfeeding, jams, and

premature wear of the printer. Uneven paper weight can cause multiple

feeds, print defects, poor toner fusing, blurring, and other print quality

problems. The proper weight is 60 to 105 g/m

2

for the paper cassette, and

60 to 200 g/m

2

for the MP tray.
