2-2Paper Handling
General Guidelines
The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper, but it can 
also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified 
below.
Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper can 
result in paper jams, curling, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in 
extreme cases can damage the machine. The guidelines given below 
will increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-
free printing and reducing wear and tear on the machine.
Paper Availability
Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper 
intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with the machine.
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 machine. 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 
machines 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 60 to 120 g/m
2 (16 to 31.9b).

The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details 
are given on the following pages:

occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.
