Long grain and short grain
The pulp fiber of the paper is aligned during paper manufacture. What we
call long grain paper is paper where the fiber is [bp1]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.
Print surface
The characteristics may differ a little between the face side and reverse side
of a sheet of paper.
Usually, the opening side of the ream of paper package is the print side.
Follow any indication of the print side on the paper package. Typically, the
paper side is indicated with an arrow.

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
around 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 characteristic 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 is between 50 % and 60%.
