Adjusting Specifications You may not have to adjust your existing specifications at all, except to include the recycled content standard. If you must specify brightness, a minimum of 80 should satisfy your needs. Opacity is more important than brightness today because double-sided copies must be legible. Every agency uses copy paper. Most jurisdictions have long-term contracts in place.
Paper is delivered on request by the supplier or from jurisdiction warehouses.
No one has time to waste un-jamming printers and copiers. Paper should also feed smoothly through printers and fax machines without crooked margins, overlapping or dusting. Nine of the responding twenty-two agencies use recycled paper in copiers and printers and reported no problems. Non-users cited price and quality as their reasons. Commentators mentioned copier jamming most frequently as the problem.
