Grain Direction
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long,
running the length of the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.
For 60 to 135 g/m
2
(16 to 36 lb bond) paper, we recommend grain long stock. For papers heavier
than 135 g/m
2
(36 lb bond), grain short is preferred. For the multipurpose feeder, we recommend
60 to 135 g/m
2
(16 to 36 lb bond) paper, grain long. If you feed papers heavier than 135 g/m
2
(36 lb
bond) from the multipurpose feeder, grain short is preferred.
