Guidelines for Using Paper
For the best result, use conventional 20 lb (75 g/m
2
bond)
paper. Ensure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts,
nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and
curled or bent edges.
If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such
as bond or recycled paper, check the label on the package.
The following problems may cause print quality deviations,
jamming or even damage to the machine:
N
OTES
:
• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature
inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
• The machine uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the
paper. Insure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use
inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200
°C or 392 °F for 0.1 second).
Symptom Problem with Paper Solution
Poor print quality or
toner adhesion,
problems with feeding
Too moist, too rough,
too smooth or
embossed; faulty paper

Try another kind of
paper, between 100 ~
400 Sheffield, 4 ~ 5 %
moisture content.
Dropout, jamming,
curl
Stored improperly
Store paper flat in its
moisture-proof
wrapping.
Increased gray
