Selecting Paper
Printing on paper that does not comply with the paper specifications may result in
paper jams and print quality degradation. The InfoPrint 60 uses standard white
paper, pastel-colored paper, prepunched or drilled paper, preprinted paper,
cardstock, security paper, and some labels. It supports the following standard paper
sizes:
A4 (210 x 297 mm)
Letter (8.5 x 11 in.)
Legal (8.5 x 14 in.)
B4 (257 x 364 mm)
Ledger (11 x 17 in.)
A3 (297 x 420 mm)
B5 (182 x 257 mm)
Xerographic paper is required to satisfy various electrical, heat, and mechanical
characteristics. IBM recommends that only high-quality xerographic paper be used
and that all materials be tested in your InfoPrint 60 before purchasing large
quantities.
Refer to the
Advanced Function Printer: Cut Sheet Paper Reference for Use with
IBM Electrophotographic Printers, for additional specifications on paper, labels, and
pretesting.
