Grain Direction
Grain refers to the alignment of paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either long, running the length
of the paper, or short, running the width of the paper. For 60 to 135 g/m² (16 to 36 lb. bond) paper,
long grain fibers are recommended. For papers heavier than 135 g/m² (36 lb. bond), short grain is
preferred.
Fiber Content
Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically pulped wood. Paper containing
fibers such as cotton possess characteristics that can result in degraded paper handling.
Recommended Paper
Refer to the Phaser 7100 Recommended Media List (RML) for media approved for use in this product.
Unacceptable Paper
The following paper types are not recommended:
• Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless
papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper
• Preprinted papers with chemicals affected by Fuser temperatures
• Preprinted forms that require registration (the print location on the page) greater than ±0.09 in.,
such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms. In some cases, the application can adjust
registration to successfully print on these forms.
• Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers
