Paper
For the best print quality, use 75 g/m
2
(20 lb) xerographic, grain long paper. Try a sample of any paper you are
considering using with the printer before buying large quantities.
When loading paper, note the recommended print side on the paper package, and load paper accordingly.
Paper characteristics
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. We recommend that you follow these
guidelines when evaluating new paper stock.
Weight
The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 176 g/m
2
(16 to 47 lb bond) grain long in the
integrated and optional 500–sheet trays and paper weights from 60 to 135 g/m
2
(16 to 36 lb bond) grain long in
2
enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best performance, use 75 g/m
2
(20 lb bond) grain long paper. When
using paper narrower than 182 x 257 mm (7.2 x 10.1 in.), make sure the weight is greater than or equal to 90 g/
m
2
(24 lb bond).
Unacceptable paper
The following papers are not recommended for use with the printer:

carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper
•
Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer
•
Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser
•
Preprinted papers that require a

In some cases, you can adjust registration with your software application to successfully print on these
forms.
