Paper Type - Oce WP36/50 Operation Manual

Many envelopes have a diagonal grain orientation (See
Grain on page 2-3
). This orientation is more likely to wrinkle
and crease on its way through the printer. Before purchasing
envelopes for use with the printer, test a sample to verify the
envelope's suitability.
Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhe-
sive.
Avoid long printing runs consisting of envelopes only. Exten-
sive 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 pa-
per trays during multiple envelope printing.
Colored Paper
Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white

bond paper, listed in
addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to with-
stand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to 200
°C or 392 °F).
Preprinted Paper
Preprinted paper should have a bond paper base. The pre-
printed ink must be able to withstand the heat of fusing dur-
ing the printing process, and must not be affected by silicone
oil.
Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as
the type of paper commonly used for calendars.
Recycled Paper
Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as
the white bond paper (see
1
) except whiteness.
NOTE
Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the print-
er and check that the print quality is satisfactory.

3. Paper Type

The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting
for the type of paper being used.
Setting the paper type for the paper source from the printer's
operator panel will cause the printer to automatically select
the paper source and print in the mode best suited to that type
of paper.
A different paper type setting can be made for each paper
source including the MP tray. Not only can preset paper types
be selected, but it is also possible for you to define and select
customized paper types. See
page 3-46
