  • Page 42: General Guidelines

    Paper Availability 4.1.2 Paper Specifications 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.

  • Page 43: Selecting The Right Paper

    Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing, misfeeding, and paper jams, and can shorten the life of the printer. In particular, avoid using paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. The paper should have as smooth and even a surface as possible.

  • Page 44: Paper Size

    1 square meter. Paper that is too light or too heavy can cause misfeeding, jams, and premature wear of the printer. Uneven paper weight can cause multiple feeds, print defects, poor toner fusing, blurring, and other print quality problems. The proper weight is 60 to 105 g/m 60 to 163 g/m 4.2.

  • Page 45: Moisture Content

    When paper is manufactured, it is cut into sheets with the grain running parallel to the length (long grain) or parallel to the width (short grain). Short grain paper can cause feeding problems in the printer. All paper used in the printer should be long grain.
  • Page 46 Porosity: Refers to the density of the paper structure; that is, to 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.

  • Page 47: Special Paper

    No liability will be assumed if moisture and so forth given off during printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator. Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on the printer and check that printing quality is satisfactory.

  • Page 48: Adhesive-Backed Labels

    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. Label paper must be manually fed.

  • Page 49: Colored Paper

    Composite thickness Moisture content Envelopes The printer can print on envelopes using paper with a basis weight of 60 to 79 g/m (16 to 21 lb/ream). Envelopes must be manually fed. An envelope is a more complex object than a single sheet of paper. For this reason, it may not be possible to obtain consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface.

  • Page 50: Recycled Paper

    Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the white bond paper (see Table 4.1 on page 4-2) except whiteness. Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the printer and check that the printing quality is satisfactory. 4-10...

  • Page 51: 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 by using the KM-NET for Clients utility will cause the printer to automatically select the paper source and print in the mode best suited to that type of paper.

  • Page 61: Expansion Memory Installation

    This appendix begins by explaining how to install a DIMM (dual in-line memory module) on the main circuit board. The FS-1010 comes supplied with 16 MB of memory installed. A slot is provided for expanding the memory in your printer so that more complex printing can be done, as well as increasing the printing speed.
  • Page 62 Installing the DIMM Insert the DIMM into the socket as follows: Turn the printer’s power off, then unplug the printer’s power cable and disconnect the printer from the host computer. Remove the screw from the rear of the printer.
  • Page 63 Expansion Memory Installation After removing the side cover, you can see the DIMM socket on top of the main circuit board. Remove the DIMM from its package. Open the clips on both ends of the DIMM socket. Insert the DIMM into the DIMM socket so that the notches on the DIMM align with the corresponding protrusions in the slot.
  • Page 64 DIMM out of the socket. Testing the Expansion Memory After you have finished installing DIMM in the printer, test the printer to see if installation succeeded. To test the expansion memory, proceed as follows: Make sure the power switch is off.
