namely uneven paper thickness may cause multiple-sheet feeding or print
quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner fusing.
The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 105g/m² (16 to 28 lib/
ream) for the cassette and between 60 and 220g/m² (16 to 59 lib/ream) for
the MP tray.
Paper Weight Equivalence Table
The paper weight is listed in pounds (lb) and metric grams per square
meter (g/m²). The shaded part indicates the standard weight.
Thickness
The paper used with the machine should be neither extremely thick nor
extremely thin. If you are having problems with paper jams, multiple feeds,
and faint printing, the paper you are using may be too thin. If you are having
problems with paper jams and blurred printing the paper may be too thick.
The correct thickness is 0.086 to 0.110mm (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, feed ability, curl,
electrostatic properties, and toner fusing characteristics.
