Guidelines for using paper
For best results, use conventional 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb) paper. Make sure that the paper is
of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and
curled or bent edges.
If you are unsure what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the label
on the package of paper.

Some paper causes print-quality problems, jamming, or damage to the printer.
