Paper Weight Equivalence Table
The paper weight is listed in pounds (lb) and metric grams per square
meter (g/m
2
). The shaded part indicates the standard weight.
Thickness (Caliper)
Thick paper is referred to as high-caliper paper and thin paper as low-
caliper paper. The paper used with the printer 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 proper thickness is 0.086 to 0.110 mm (3.4 to
4.3 mils).
