  • Page 42: General Guidelines

    NOTE Kyocera mita assumes no liability for problems that occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used with the paper feeder. Selection of the right paper is important. The wrong paper can result in jams, misfeeds, curl, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage the paper feeder and the printer.

  • Page 43: Selecting The Right Paper

    7-1-2 Selecting the right paper Printer 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 requirements withstands all these stresses, enabling the paper feeder and the printer to turn out clean, crisp printed copy consistently.

  • Page 44: Paper Specifications

    7-2 Paper specifications The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications that should be applied to the paper used with the paper feeder. Details are given following the table. Table 7-2-1 Specifications Item Specification Weight 60 to 105 g/m (16 to 28 lbs./ream) Thickness 0.086 to 0.110 mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils) ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches)

  • Page 45: Paper Size

    (3) Paper size The paper feeder is usable with the paper sizes as tabled below. Table 7-2-2 Paper size Paper size Dimension ISO A4 210 × 297 mm 182 × 257 mm JIS B5 148 × 210 mm ISO A5 Letter 8-1/2 ×...

  • Page 46: Paper Grain

    Wavy or tight edges can cause misfeeding and alignment anomalies. The moisture content of the paper should be 4 % to 6 %. To ensure the proper moisture content it is important to store the paper in a controlled environment. Some tips on moisture control are: Store paper in a cool, dry location.

  • Page 47: Electrostatic Properties

    (4) Electrostatic properties 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. (5) Whiteness The contrast of the printed page depends on the whiteness of the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper, brighter appearance.

  • Page 48: Colored Paper

    (1) Colored paper Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper, listed in used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to 200 °C or 392 °F). (2) Preprinted paper Preprinted paper should have a bond paper base.
