Selecting the Right Paper
B-8
Electrostatic properties
During the printing process the paper is electrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper must
be able to release this charge so that printed sheets do not cling together in the output tray.
Quality control
Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, ragged edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed
edges and corners can cause the printer to malfunction in various ways. Pay particular attention to
these considerations if you are choosing paper yourself.
Packaging
Select paper that is wrapped by the ream and then placed in a box. The best wrapping is one whose
inner surface is coated to protect again humidity.
