Paper Basic Paper Specifications This machine is designed to print on standard copy paper as used in regular (‘dry’) copiers and page printers such as laser printers. It also supports a variety of other types of paper that conform to the specifications given in this appendix.
Choosing the Appropriate Paper This section describes guidelines for choosing paper. Condition Avoid using paper with bent corners or that is curled, dirty, or torn. Do not use paper that has a rough surface or paper fiber lint, or that is especially delicate.
Smoothness The paper surface should be smooth, but it must be uncoated. With paper that is too smooth and slippery, several sheets may accidentally be supplied at once, causing jams. Basis Weight In countries that use the metric system, basis weight is the weight in grams of one sheet of paper one square meter in area.
Page 115
Paper Grain Paper is cut into sheets either with the grain running parallel to the length (long grain) or with the grain parallel to the width (short grain). Avoid using short-grain paper because it may be supplied incorrectly; use long- grain paper.
Special Paper This section describes copying onto special paper and copy media. The following paper and media can be used. • Transparencies • Preprinted paper • Bond paper • Recycled paper • Thin paper (from 45 g/m² to 64 g/m² or less) •...
Page 117
Label Be sure to feed labels from the MP tray. For selecting labels, use extreme care so that the adhesive may not come in direct contact with any part of the machine and that the labels are not easily peeled from the carrier sheet. Adhesives that stick to the drum or rollers and peeled labels remaining in the machine may cause a failure.
Page 118
Postcards Before loading postcards into the MP tray, fan them and align the edges. If the postcard paper is curled, straighten it before loading. Copying onto Rough curled postcards may cause jams. edge Do not use perforated return postcards. Rough edge Some postcards may still have rough edges on the back side caused by a paper cutter.
Page 119
Thick Paper Before loading thick paper in the MP tray, fan it and align the edges. Some thick paper may still have rough edges caused by a paper cutter on the back side. Remove any such rough edges just as with Postcards by placing the paper on a flat surface and rubbing the edges gently a few times with a ruler.
