Chapter 2 Paper Selection
This chapter explains the following topics:
•General Guidelines
•Special Paper
•Paper Type
The printer is designed to print on high-quality copier bond
paper (the kind used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it
can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the
limits specified below.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur
when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.
Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong
paper can result in paper jams, misfeeding, curling, poor
print quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can
damage the printer. The guidelines given below will increase
the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-
free printing and reducing wear and tear on the printer.
Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of
machines. Paper intended for xerographic copiers can also be
used with the printer.
There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard,
and premium. The most significant difference between grades
is the ease with which they pass through the printer. This is
affected by the smoothness, size, and moisture content of the
paper, and the way in which the paper is cut. The higher the
grade of paper you use, the less risk there will be of paper
jams and other problems, and the higher the level of quality
your printed output will reflect.
Differences between paper from different suppliers can also
affect the printer’s performance. A high-quality printer
cannot produce high-quality results when the wrong paper is
used. Low-priced paper is not economical in the long run if it
causes printing problems.
Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights
(defined later). The traditional standard weights are 16, 20,
and 28 pounds (60 to 105 g/m
2
).
The following table summarizes the basic paper
specifications. Details are given on the following pages.
Laser printing is a process involving laser light, electrostatic
discharge, toner, and heat. In addition, as the paper passes
through the printer it undergoes considerable sliding,
bending, and twisting motions. A high-quality printing paper
matching the printer’s requirements withstands all these
stresses, enabling the printer to turn out clean, crisp printed
copies consistently.
Remember that all paper is not the same. Some of the factors
to consider when selecting paper for the printer are as
follows:
Condition of the Paper
Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty,
torn, embossed, or contaminated with lint, clay, or paper
shreds.
Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing,
misfeeding, and paper jams, and can shorten the life of the
printer. In particular, avoid using paper with a surface
coating or other surface treatment. The paper should have as
smooth and even a surface as possible.
