A. Appendix 119 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.

A. Appendix 120 Moisture content Moisture content is the amount of water left in the paper after manufacture. It is one of the important characteristics of the paper. This can change greatly depending on the storage environment, although usually paper contains about 5% water by weight. Because paper often absorbs water, the amount of water can sometimes be about 10% in a high humidity environment. When the amount of water increases, the characteristics of the paper changes greatly. The fixing of the toner may become worse. For storage of the paper and during use, we recommend that the humidity of the surrounding environment be between 50% and 60%.
