Special Paper - Kyocera FS-2000D Advanced Operation Manual

Special Paper

ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE
Stiffness: Limp paper may buckle in the machine, resulting in paper jams.
Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl one way if left unpacked. When
paper passes through the fixing unit, it curls upward a little. To produce flat
printouts, load the paper so that the upward pressure from the machine
can correct their curling.
Electrostatic discharge: During the printing process the paper is
electrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper must be able to
release this charge so that printed sheets do not cling together in the
Output Tray.
Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the whiteness of
the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper, brighter appearance.
Quality control: Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, ragged
edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed edges and corners can cause
the machine to malfunction in various ways. A quality paper supplier
should take considerable care to ensure that these problems do not occur.
Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from
damage during transport. Quality paper obtained from a reputable supplier
is usually correctly packaged.
The following types of special paper can be used:
Paper type to be used
Thin paper (60 to 64 g/m²)
Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²)
Colored paper
Recycled paper
Overhead projector transparencies
Postcards
Envelopes
Label
Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heat-
fusing type). When using transparencies, labels, thin paper, envelopes,
postcards, or thick paper, feed the paper from the MP Tray.
Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably,
special paper is more likely than white bond paper to give trouble during
printing. No liability will be assumed if moisture and so forth given off during
printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator.
