Paper Specifications and Technical Data
This appendix describes what paper you should use and how you should store
it. The appendix also provides technical data about the sheet feeder including
the following:
Physical dimensions of the sheet feeder
Paper hopper capacity
Paper dimensions
Environmental conditions
A.1 Paper Specifications
To ensure that the sheet feeder works properly, use paper that conforms to the
following specifications. If this is not possible, test a sample of the paper in the
sheet feeder first.
Most paper is sensitive to temperature and humidity conditions. Extremes in
these conditions may affect the performance of the paper in the feeder and
printer.
Paper Type and Quality
Plain bond, typewriter quality paper with a light wood pulp content should be
used for optimum performance. The maximum allowable cotton or rag content
is 25%. Papers which should be operationally tested before regular use are
those with a textured, embossed or glossy surface, or a "hammered" type paper.
Paper must be well cut and in pristine condition with no creases or surface
or edge damage. The paper must be flat, not curled or curved. An existing
curl may not exceed +-0.12" (+- 3.1 mm), that is, face and back curl. The
paper should be noted with the natural curl going the same way for all sheets.
Inspect and "fan" the paper prior to loading it into the paper hopper.
