Printer and Paper Specifications
Paper Thickness
Paper thickness is given by the weight of the paper in either grams per square meter (g/m
2
)
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.
