The "LaserWriter II Owner's Guide" specifies the paper at:
"16-lb. to 20-lb. photocopy or typewriter bond (60 to 80 g/m2) in normal
mode; up to 36-lb. (135 g/m2) stock in manual mode with face-up tray open.
Accepts most letterhead and colored stock. Accepts medium-weight photocopy
transparencies. Envelopes can be printed with manual feed or from the
envelope cassette. Labels can be printed using manual feed."
Beyond this information, Apple has no documented specifications for paper
requirements. However, the following information is also available in the
Tech Info Library on AppleLink:
When choosing an acetate transparency for use in a LaserWriter II, it is
important to consider the temperature of the printer's fuser roller, and
the amount of time the acetate sheet is in contact with the roller.
The temperature of the LaserWriter II fuser roller varies from:
329 to 356 degrees Fahrenheit (165 to 180 degrees Centigrade)
An 8.5 by 11-inch sheet of paper or acetate takes approximately 5.8 seconds
to travel over the fuser roller. This works out to be about 1.5 inches per
second.
The LaserWriter II accepts medium weight photocopier transparencies like
Scotch #503, catalog # 15921-3.
