computer paper

Continuous feed stock

Computer paper is paper manufactured for use in printers and other computer output devices.

The term most often evokes the continuous-feed paper used with dot matrix printers, featuring perforated edges with holes for tractor feeding and perforations between sheets for separation.

As laser and inkjet printers became standard, computer paper came to include cut sheets in standard sizes.

We used to tear the edges off computer paper before filing reports.
