Paper Thickness
Paper thickness is given by the weight of the paper in either grams per
square meter (g/m
2
) or in pounds per bond (lbs/bond). The following
table shows the allowable paper thickness for one-part paper or for each
sheet of multipart paper. The total thickness must not exceed 0.35 mm
(0.014 inch).
The weight of carbonless or carbon-backed paper may vary, depending
upon the paper manufacturer. When using paper of borderline thickness,
test the paper before running a job.
