To get clean, crisp printouts from laser printers all the time, select high-quality printer paper 
that meets the printer’s requirements. Laser printers use laser beams, electrostatic discharge, 
toner, and heat, all of which affect the paper. Furthermore, paper slide, bends, and twists as 
it passes through laser printers during printing. Therefore, printer paper must be able to 
withstand such great stress.

This section describes the major considerations for selecting the right printing paper. 

Do not use paper with folded edges, curls, warps, smudges, tears, or embossing.  Also do 
not use paper containing lint, clay, or paper debris. Using such paper may cause illegible 
printing, misfeeds, paper jams, etc., and shorten the product life of the printer. Never use 
paper with surface coating or other surface treatment. The paper surface should be as 
smooth and even as possible.

Do not use paper with surface-coating or containing plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing 
causes such paper to emit toxic fumes.

Bond paper should have at least an 80 % pulp content. The percentage of cotton and other 
fibers should not exceed 20 %.

Table 2-3 lists the standard paper sizes and dimensions. Note that certain paper sizes are 
available only for MP tray feeding (as remarked) and face-up tray delivering. For details on 
using MP tray, see

The dimensional tolerances for these paper sizes are 

±

0.7 mm (

length and width of paper. The corner angles must be 90
