Before You Purchase a Large Quantity of Paper

Paper for Plain Paper Copies 

 
Paper is divided by usage, such as paper for printing and paper for copying.  
The usage is usually shown on the paper’s package.  Check the package to 
see whether it is suitable for laser printers. You must use paper that is 
suitable for laser printers.

Basis Weight 

 
The basis weight of the paper for general use varies in different countries.  
We recommend that you use paper that weighs 75 g/m2 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 
24 lb.), although this printer is able to cope with thinner or thicker paper than 
these weights.

Long Grain and Short Grain 

 
Though most plain paper for copying is long grain, some is short grain.  We 
recommend that you use long grain paper for this printer.  Short grain paper 
is too weak to be carried through the printer.
