• Store individual packages on a flat surface.
• Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.
Using recycled paper and other office papers
Generally the following property guidelines apply to recycled paper.
• Low moisture content (4–5%)
•
Suitable smoothness (100–200 Sheffield units, or 140–350 Bendtsen units, European)
• Some much smoother papers (such as premium 24 lb laser papers, 50–90 Sheffield units)
and much rougher papers (such as premium cotton papers, 200–300 Sheffield units) have
been engineered to work very well in laser printers, despite surface texture. Before using these
types of paper, consult your paper supplier.
• Suitable sheet-to-sheet coefficient of friction (0.4–0.6)
•
Sufficient bending resistance in the direction of feed
Recycled paper, paper of lower weight (<60 g/m
2
[16 lb bond]) and/or lower caliper (<3.8 mils [0.1
mm]), and paper that is cut grain-short for portrait (or short-edge) fed printers may have lower bending
resistance than is required for reliable paper feeding. Before using these types of paper for laser
(electrophotographic) printing, consult your paper supplier. Remember that these are general guidelines
only and that paper meeting these guidelines may still cause paper feeding problems in any laser printer
(for example, if the paper curls excessively under normal printing conditions).
