    What paper sizes and weights can I use in the LaserWriter 12/640 PS?

DISCUSSION

    The LaserWriter 12/640 supports US Letter, A4, B5, Executive and US Legal sized paper in the standard (250 sheet) cassette. The multipurpose tray can hold 80 sheets of standard US Letter paper and other paper sizes from postcard to US Legal. An optional 500 sheet cassette is available that supports US Letter, A4, and US Legal. An envelope cassette that can automatically feed up to 50 envelopes is also available.

    The LaserWriter 12/640 PS supports 16 to 28 pound laser quality bond (60-90g/m^2) in the paper cassettes and up to 50 pound (190g/m^2) stock when fed manually through the multipurpose tray and exited through the face-up output tray. This printer also accepts most textured and colored stock, medium-weight photocopier transparencies, and laser labels. Envelopes can be printed from the multipurpose tray or from the optional envelope cassette.

    The paper you use should not scorch, melt, transfer material, or release hazardous emissions when heated to 200 C (393F) for 0.1 seconds.
