Paper Composition; Paper Cut; Paper Friction - Ricoh 70 User Manual

Paper Composition

Use paper made from 100% chemical wood pulp. Paper that contains mechanically-
pulped wood or cotton is not recommended due to natural impurities, such as CaCO
that can contaminate the surface of the photoconductor, thereby decreasing the life of
the photoconductor and/or the fuser.
Do not use coated paper containing material that will melt, vaporize, offset, discolor,
or release hazardous emissions when exposed to high temperatures.
!
CAUTION
Do not use paper that contains CaCO

Paper Cut

Paper cut is another significant factor affecting printer performance. The cut sheet is
produced by cutting a larger stack of paper. If a dull cutter is used, the paper will have
ragged edges, or what is called a "burr." This burr can cause such problems as paper
jam, multiple feed, and large amounts of paper dust. Refer to
page C-2 for additional information.

Paper Friction

The frictional properties of paper are very important for reliable paper picking.
Improper friction properties can cause poor pick up and multi-sheet feeding. High
quality xerographic paper has uniform friction. Refer to
page C-2 for additional information.
