Media guidelines
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. Consider these characteristics when
evaluating new paper stock.
• Weight—The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 220 g/m
2
(16 to 58 lb bond) grain
long. Paper lighter than 60 g/m
2
(16 lb) might not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best
performance, use 75 g/m
2
(20 lb bond) grain long paper. For paper smaller than 182 x 257 mm (7.2 x 10.1
in.), we recommend 90 g/m
2
(24 lb) or heavier paper.
Note: Duplex is supported only for 63 g/m
2
–170 g/m
2
(17 lb–45 lb bond) paper.
• Curl—Curl is the tendency for paper to curl at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding
problems. Curl can occur after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high
temperatures. Storing paper unwrapped in hot, humid, cold, or dry conditions, even in the trays, can
contribute to paper curling prior to printing and can cause feeding problems.
• Smoothness—Paper smoothness directly affects print quality. If paper is too rough, toner cannot fuse to it
properly. If paper is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding or print quality issues. Always use paper
between 100 and 300 Sheffield points; however, smoothness between 150 and 200 Sheffield points
produces the best print quality.
