  • Page 30: Selecting The Right Paper

    Selecting the Right Paper This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper. Condition Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn, embossed, or contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds. Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing and paper jams, and can shorten the life of the machine.
  • Page 31 Smoothness The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or sandy surface can cause voids in the printed output. Paper that is too smooth can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.) Basis Weight Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter (g/m²).
  • Page 32 Thickness The paper used with the machine should be neither extremely thick nor extremely thin. If you are having problems with paper jams, multiple feeds, and faint printing, the paper you are using may be too thin. If you are having problems with paper jams and blurred printing the paper may be too thick.

  • Page 33: Special Paper

    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.
  • Page 34 Transparency Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. The recommended transparency product is 3M CG3700 (Letter, A4). The table below lists the specifications for transparency: Item Specification Tolerance of heat Must tolerate at least 190 °C (374 °F) Thickness 0.100 to 0.110 mm (3.9 to 4.3 mils) Material...
  • Page 35 Labels Labels must be fed from the MP tray or optional paper feeder PF-510.
