Recycled Paper
As an environmentally conscious company, Konica Minolta supports the use of recycled office paper produced
specifically for use in electrophotographic printers. World-wide recycled papers (including 100% Post-
Consumer Waste) are consistently used in printer testing, using chamber tests for different temperature and
humidity conditions. No reason have been found to discourage the use of today's recycled office papers, but
generally the following property guidelines apply to recycled paper.
• Low moisture content (4-5%)
• Suitable smoothness (100-200 Sheffield units)
• Suitable sheet-to-sheet coefficient of friction (0.4-0.6)
• Sufficient bending resistance in the direction of feed
Recycled paper, paper of lower weight (<60 gm2 / 16 lb bond) and/or lower caliper (<3.8 mils / 0.1 mm), and
paper that is cut grain-short for portrait (or short-edge) fed printers may have lower bending resistance than is
required for reliable paper feeding. Before using these types of paper for electrophotographic printing, consult
your paper supplier. There are many other factors to consider, and these guidelines do not ensure success,
but can provide a basis for speaking with your paper supplier.
