General Guidelines
The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper (the type used 
in ordinary dry copier machines), 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 
machine’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.
The recommended basis weight is:
• Cassette: 60 to 120 g/m
2
• MP tray: 60 to 220 g/m2
• PF-500: 60 to 120 g/m2
• PF-510: 60 to 220 g/m2
Paper Specifications
The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details 
are given on the following pages.
Note  The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that 
occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.
