							Print Media Guidelines155

Print Media Guidelines
Print media can be paper, labels, envelopes, and coated paper among others. 
Your printer provides high-quality pr inting on a variety of print media. 
Selecting the appropriate  print media for your printer helps avoid printing 
troubles. This section describes selectin g print media, caring for print media, 
and loading the print media in Multipur pose Feeder (MPF) or Priority Sheet 
Inserter (PSI).
Paper
For the best print quality in color, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, grain long 
paper. For the best print quality in black and white, use 90 g/m2 (24 lb) 
xerographic, grain long pa per. Before buying large quantities of any print 
media, it is recommended that you try a sample first.
When loading paper, identify the recommended print side on the paper 
package, and load the paper accordingly. See Loading Print Media in the 
Multipurpose Feeder (MPF) on page  45 and Loading Print Media in the 
Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI) on page 50 for detailed loading instructions. 
Paper Characteristics
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. It is 
recommended that you follow these gu idelines when evaluating new paper 
stock. 
Weight
Both MPF and PSI automatically feed  paper whose weights range from 60 to 
163 g/m2 (16 to 44 lb bond) grain long. Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) may 
not feed properly, and could cause paper  jams. For best performance, use 75 g/
m
2 (20 lb bond) grain long paper.
Curl
Curl is the tendency of print media to  curve at its edges. Excessive curl can 
cause paper feeding problems. Curl us ually occurs after the paper passes 
through the printer, where it is expose d to high temperatures. Storing paper 
 
						

							156Print Media Guidelines
unwrapped, even in the paper feeder, can contribute to paper curling prior to 
printing and cause feeding problems re gardless of humidity. When printing 
on curled paper, straighten the paper  and then insert it into the MPF or PSI.
Smoothness
The degree of paper smoothness directly  affects print quality. If the paper is 
too rough, the toner does not fuse to  the paper properly, resulting in poor 
print quality. If the paper is too smoo th, it can cause paper feeding problems. 
Smoothness between 150 and  250 Sheffield points produces the best print 
quality.
Moisture Content
The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability 
of the printer to feed the paper properly. Leave the paper in its original 
packaging until you are ready to use it.  This limits the exposure of the paper 
to moisture changes that can degrade its performance. 
Grain Direction
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is 
either grain long, running the length of the paper, or  grain short, running the 
width of the paper. For 60 to 135 g/m
2 (16 to 36 lb bond ) paper, grain long 
fibers are recommended. For paper heavier than 135 g/m2 (36 lb bond), grain 
short is preferred. 
Fiber Content
Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically pulped 
wood. Paper containing fibers such as  cotton possess characteristics that can 
result in degraded paper handling. 
Recommended Paper
To ensure the best print quality and feed reliability, use dry 75 g/m2 (20 lb) 
xerographic paper. Business paper designed for general business use also 
provide acceptable print quality. Only  use paper able to withstand high 
temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. 
The laser printing process heats paper  to high temperatures. Check with the 
manufacturer or vendor to determine wh ether the paper you have chosen is 
acceptable for laser printers.
