B.2. Selecting the Right Paper
B-3
Smoothness
The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or sandy surface can cause
voids in the printed output. Paper that is too smooth, however, can cause multiple feeding and
fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.)

fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.)
Basis Weight
Basis weight is the weight of a standard quantity of paper. In the traditional system the standard
quantity is a ream consisting of 500 sheets measuring 17 × 22 inches each. In the metric system
the standard quantity is 1 square meter.

Paper that is too light or too heavy can cause misfeeding, jams, and premature wear of the printer.
Uneven paper weight can cause multiple feeds, print defects, poor toner fusing, blurring, and
other print quality problems. The proper weight is 60 to 90 g/m

(16 to 24 lbs/ream).
Thickness (Caliper)
Thick paper is referred to as high-caliper paper and thin paper as low-caliper paper. The paper used
with the printer should be neither extremely thick nor extremely thin. If you are having problems
with paper jams, multiple feeds, and faint printing, the paper may be too thin. If you are having
problems with paper jams and blurred printing the paper may be too thick. The proper thickness
is 0.086 to 0.110 mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).

Moisture Content
Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the dry mass of the paper. Moisture
can affect the paper's appearance, feedability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner fusing char-
acteristics.
