Choosing Print Materials
Print material
characteristics
For detailed information, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide 
located on the Drivers, MarkVision and Utilities CD.
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. 
We recommend that you keep these guidelines in mind when evalu-
ating new paper stock. 
Weight
The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 
131  g/m
2
 (16 to 35 lb bond) grain long. Paper lighter than 60 g/m
2
 
(16 lb) might not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing paper 
jams. For best performance, use 75 g/m
2
 (20 lb bond) grain long 
paper. If you want to print on print materials narrower than 182 x 257 
mm (7.2 x 10.1 in.), the basis weight must be greater than or equal 
to 90  g/m
2
 (24 lb bond). 
Curl
Curl is the tendency of paper to curve at its edges. If curl is exces-
sive, it can cause paper feeding problems. Curl usually occurs after 
the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high 
temperatures. Storing paper unwrapped in humid conditions, even 
in the paper tray, can contribute to paper curling.
Smoothness
The degree of smoothness of paper 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 smooth, it can cause 
paper feeding problems.
