Page 155: Paper Selection
Differences between paper from different suppliers can also affect the machine’s performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce high-quality results when the wrong paper is used. Low-priced paper is not economical in the long run if it causes printing problems.
Page 156 Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing, misfeeding, and paper jams, and can shorten the life of the machine. 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. Composition Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and contains plastic or carbon.
Page 157 Basis Weight Basis weight is the weight of a standard quantity of paper. In the traditional system the standard quantity is a ream consisting of 500 sheets measuring 17 × 22 inches each. In the metric system the standard quantity is 1 square meter. Paper that is too light or too heavy can cause misfeeding, jams, and premature wear of the machine.
Page 158: Special Paper
Note If the paper is considerably curled in one direction, e.g. when the paper was used to print on one side, try to roll the paper in the opposite direction to counteract the curl. Printed sheets will then come out flat. Electrostatic properties: During the printing process the paper is electrostatically charged to attract the toner.
Page 159 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 machine. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the machine. Label paper must be manually fed. Label paper has a structure comprising of three layers, as shown in the figure below.
Page 160 Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive. Avoid long printing runs consisting of envelopes only. Extensive envelope printing can cause premature printer wear. To avoid jamming due to curled envelopes, do not leave more than approximately 10 printed envelopes stacked in the paper trays during multiple envelope printing.
Page 161: Media Type
The machine is capable of printing under the optimum setting for the type of media being used. Setting the media type for the paper source by using COMMAND CENTER will cause the printer to automatically select the paper source and print in the mode best suited to that media type.
