* If the length of custom paper is larger than 297 mm (11-11/16 inches), the machine can be substituted A4, Folio,
Legal, and Oficio II as the standard paper size.
Smoothness
The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or sandy surface can cause blank spaces in the
printed output. Paper that is too smooth can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background
effect.)
Basis weight
Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter (g/m²). Paper that is too heavy or too light may
cause feed errors or paper jams as well as premature wear of the product. Uneven weight of paper, namely uneven paper
thickness may cause multiple-sheet feeding or print quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner fusing.
The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 220 g/m² (16 to 58.5 lib/ream).
Paper Weight Equivalence Table
The paper weight is listed in pounds (lb) and metric grams per square meter (g/m²). The shaded part indicates the
standard weight.
Thickness
The paper used with the machine should be neither extremely thick nor extremely thin. If you are having problems with
paper jams, multiple feeds, and faint printing, the paper you are using may be too thin. If you are having problems with
paper jams and blurred printing the paper may be too thick. The correct thickness is 0.086 to 0.110 mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).
Moisture Content
Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the dry mass of the paper. Moisture can affect the paper’s
appearance, feed ability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner fusing characteristics.
