♦ Before you purchase a large quantity of paper
Make sure that the paper is suitable for the printer.
♦ Paper for plain paper copy
Paper is divided by usage, such as paper for printing and paper for copying. The usage is
usually specified on the paper’s package. Check the package to see whether it is suitable
for laser printers. Use paper that is suitable for laser printers.
♦ Basis weight
The basis weight of the paper in general use varies in different countries. We recommend
that you use paper that weighs
75
g/m
2
to 90
g/m

(20 to 24 lb.),
although this printer is able
to cope with thinner or thicker paper than these weights.

♦ Long grain and short grain
The pulp fiber of the paper is aligned during paper manufacture. What we call long grain
paper is paper where the fibre is parallel to the paper carriage direction of the paper.
Paper can be classified into two types, long grain and short grain. Long grain paper’s
fibre direction is parallel to the carriage direction of the paper in the printer. Short grain
paper’s fibre direction is vertical to the carriage direction of the paper in the printer.
Though most plain paper for copying is long grain, some is short grain. We recommend
that you use long grain paper for this printer. Short grain paper is too weak for the paper
carriage of the printer.
