Handling Paper
ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE 1-5
Paper with other sizes (custom sizes) can also be fed from the MP tray.
The minimum size paper for manual feed is 88 × 148 mm (3-1/2 × 5-13/16
inches), fed lengthwise. The maximum size is 297 × 450 mm (11-11/16 ×
17-3/4 inches).
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
45 to 200 g/m
2
for the MP tray.
