Page 184: General Guidelines
General Guidelines General Guidelines The printer is designed to print on high-quality copier bond paper (the kind used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below. The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.
Page 185: Selecting The Right Paper
General Guidelines 4.1.3 Selecting the Right Paper Laser printing is a process involving laser light, electrostatic discharge, toner, and heat. In addition, as the paper passes through the printer it undergoes considerable sliding, bending, and twisting motions. A high- quality printing paper matching the printer's requirements withstands all these stresses, enabling the printer to turn out clean, crisp printed copies consistently.
Page 186: Paper Size
General Guidelines Paper Size Cassettes and an MP tray are available for the paper sizes listed in the table below. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) for the length and width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°. Multi-purpose tray Size Cassette or multi-...
Page 187: Moisture Content
General Guidelines Thickness (Caliper) Thick paper is referred to as high-caliper paper and thin paper as low- caliper paper. The paper used with the printer should be neither extremely thick nor extremely thin. If you are having problems with paper jams, multiple feeds, and faint printing, the paper you are using may be too thin.
Page 188 General Guidelines Other Paper Properties Porosity: Refers to the density of the paper structure; that is, how openly or compactly the fibers are bonded. Stiffness: Limp paper can buckle inside the printer, while paper that is too stiff may bind. Either way the result is a paper jam. Curl: Most paper has a natural tendency to curl in one direction.

Page 190: Adhesive-Backed Labels
Special Paper 4.2.2 Adhesive-Backed Labels The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into contact with any part of the printer. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the printer. Be sure to feed label paper from the MP tray.
Page 191: Colored Paper
Special Paper The table below lists the specifications for adhesive label paper. Item Specification Weight of top sheet 44 to 74 g/m (12 to 20 lb/ream) Composite weight 104 to 151 g/m (28 to 40 lb/ream) Thickness of top sheet 0.086 to 0.107 mm (3.9 to 4.2 mils) Composite thickness 0.115 to 0.145 mm (4.5 to 5.7 mils)
Page 192 Special Paper Recycled Paper Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the white bond paper (see 4.1.2 Paper Specifications on page 4-2) except whiteness. Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the printer and check that the print quality is satisfactory. Note 4-10...
Page 193: Paper Type
Paper Type Paper Type The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting for the type of paper being used. Setting the paper type for the paper source from the printer's operator panel will cause the printer to automatically select the paper source and print in the mode best suited to that type of paper.
Page 194: Appendix A Fonts
Fonts Appendix A This appendix explains the types of fonts you can use with the printer. A font is a set of characters of a particular design. The design is referred to as a typeface. Several characteristics identify a font. These include the code set (For details on the code sets, read Programming Manual on the supplied CD-ROM), spacing, pitch, height, style, stroke weight, and typeface family.
