Xerox Phaser 240 User Guide

Observe the following guidelines when selecting plain paper for use with 
the printer:

■

Many types of Bond, Text, and Book paper work well with the 
printer.  For Bond paper, use a basis weight of 75 - 90 g/m

2

 

(20 - 24 lb.); 75 g/m

2

 (20 lb.) is best.  For Book paper, 75 g/m

2

 

(50 lb.) is best.  In general, avoid paper with a high rag content.

■

In general, smoother papers work better.  Avoid using ÒfuzzyÓ 
papers with loose Þbers.  This type of paper does not produce the 
best image quality and leaves more paper residue inside the 
printer, requiring you to clean the printer more frequently.

■

Don't use watermarked paper.  The watermark may show through 
as dropout on the print.

■

You can recycle plain-paper prints with other mixed paper.

Tektronix offers a premium laser paper that gives excellent print quality for 
plain-paper printing.  Like Tektronix thermal-transfer paper, this premium 
laser paper is larger than standard Letter or A4 size paper and perforated, 
which allows you to print the largest possible image area (for details, see 
ÒMargins and print areaÓ on page 3-9).  For information on ordering 
Tektronix premium laser paper and other printer supplies, refer to the 
supplies information sheet that is shipped with the printer.
