Important information for choosing your paper

This section provides information to help you choose paper to use with this printer.

Before you purchase a large quantity of paper

Make sure the paper is suitable for the printer.

Paper for plain paper copies

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

Long grain and short grain

The pulp fiber of the paper is aligned during paper manufacture. What we call long grain paper is paper 
where the fiber is parallel to the paper carriage direction of the paper.

Paper can be classified into two types, long grain and short grain. Long grain paper’s fiber direction is 
parallel to the carriage direction of the paper in the printer. Short grain paper’s fiber direction is vertical 
to the carriage direction of the paper in the printer. 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 for the paper carriage of the printer.

Print surface

The characteristics may differ a little between the face side and reverse side of a sheet of paper.

Usually, the opening side of the ream of paper package is the print side. Follow any indication of the print 
side on the paper package. Typically, the print side is indicated by an arrow.

Moisture content

Moisture content is the amount of water left in the paper after manufacture. It is one of the important 
characteristics of the paper. This can change greatly depending on the storage environment, although 
usually paper contains about 5% water by weight. Because paper often absorbs water, the amount of 
water can sometimes be about 10% in a high humidity environment. When the amount of water 
increases, the characteristic of the paper changes greatly. The fixing of the toner may become worse. 
For storage of the paper and during use, we recommend that the humidity of the surrounding 
environment is between 50% and 60%.
