Important information for choosing your paper
This section gives information to help you choose paper to use with this printer.
Note
If you use paper that is not recommended, a paper jam or misfeed may occur in the printer. See
Recommended paper on page 7.
Before you buy a large quantity of paper
Make sure that 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 written 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 75 to 90 g/m
2
(20 to 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. And 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, neutralized paper is recentry taking the
place of acid paper because of environmental 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.
Print surface
The characteristics of the face side and reverse side of a sheet of paper may vary a little.
Usually, the opening side of the ream of the paper package is the print side. Follow the indications on the
paper package. Typically, the print side is indicated by an arrow.
