Paper Specifications

The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details are given on the following 
pages.

B.2. Selecting the Right Paper

Laser printing is a process involving laser light, electrostatic discharge, toner, and heat. In addition, 
as the paper passes through the printer it undergoes considerable sliding, bending, and twisting 
motions. A high-quality printing paper matching the printer's requirements withstands all these 
stresses, enabling the printer to turn out clean, crisp printed copy consistently.

Remember that all paper is not the same. Some of the factors to consider when selecting paper 
for the printer are as follows:

Condition of the Paper

Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn, embossed, or contaminated with 
lint, clay, or paper shreds

Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing, misfeeding, and paper jams, and 
can shorten the life of the printer. In particular, avoid using paper with a surface coating or other 
surface treatment. The paper should have as smooth and even a surface as possible.

Composition

Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and contains plastic or carbon. The heat 
of fusing can cause such paper to give off harmful fumes.

Bond paper should contain at least 80% pulp. Not more than 20% of the total paper content 
should consist of cotton or other fibers.

Paper Size

Cassettes and a MP tray are available for the paper sizes listed in Table B.2. The dimensional toler-
ances are ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) for the length and width. The angle at the corners must be 
90° ±0.2°.
