Appendix B Paper Selection B-6 Basis Weight Basis weight is the weight of one squar e meter sheet of paper . Paper that is too light or too heavy can cause m isf eeding, jam s, and prem ature wear of the printer. Uneven paper weight can c ause m ultiple feeds, pr int defects , poor toner fus ing, blurring, and other print quality problems .
Selecting the Right Paper B-7 · Store paper in a dry , well-ventilated location. · Keep the pape r flat and in its wrapping as long as possible. Rewrap paper that is not in use. · Store paper in its original carton. Place a pallet etc. under the carton to separate it from the floor.
