Important information for choosing your paper
This section provides information to help you choose paper to use with this printer.
Note
If you use paper other than the ones recommended, a paper jam or misfeeding may occur in the printer. See
Recommended paper on page 1-5.
Before you purchase a large quantity of paper
Make sure the paper is suitable for the printer.
Paper for plain paper copies
Paper is divided by usage, such as paper for printing and paper for copying. The usage is usually specified
on the paper’s package. Check the package to see whether it is suitable for laser printers. Use paper that is
suitable for laser printers.
Basis weight
The basis weight of the paper in general use varies in different countries. We recommend that you use paper
that weighs between 75 and 90 g/m2 (20 and 24 lb), although this printer is able to cope with thinner or thicker
paper than these weights.
Long grain and short grain
The pulp fiber of the paper is aligned during paper manufacturing. What we call long grain paper is paper
where the fiber is parallel to the paper carriage direction of the paper.
Paper can be classified into two types, long grain and short grain. Long grain paper’s fiber direction is parallel
to the carriage direction of the paper in the printer. Short grain paper’s fiber direction is vertical to the carriage
direction of the paper in the printer. Though most plain paper for copying is long grain, some is short grain.
We recommend that you use long grain paper for this printer. Short grain paper is too weak for the paper
carriage of the printer.
Acid paper and neutralized paper
Paper can be classified as either acid paper or neutralized paper.
Though modern paper manufacture methods started with acid paper, recently neutralized paper is taking the
place of acid paper because of environment or preservation issues.
However, many forms of acid paper can be found in recycled paper. We recommend that you use neutralized
paper for this printer.
You can use an acid paper check pen to distinguish acid paper from neutral paper.
