2. Handling Paper
When printing on preprinted paper, note the following:
• Toner may not adhere to preprinted images as well as it does to plain white paper. Check the print
quality in advance.
• Before using preprinted paper, check that the ink is completely dry. Also, make sure that the ink
does not transfer to the rollers and make the inside of the machine dirty.
• The machine does not support preprinted paper on which images and/or text are printed using
toner.
• To print on paper on which a frame is printed, print in an area 2.5 mm (0.10 inches) or more from
the frame.

• Use a non-volatile oil based and heat resistant ink for preprinted paper. Do not use ink that melts,
vaporizes, dissolves, or delaminates when exposed to heat. For details, see page 6 "Resistance to
Heat".
• Use the minimum amount of ink on preprinted paper. Use screen printing to print on large areas.
• Do not use powders, such as corn starch, rosin, or talc, to dry ink on preprinted paper.
• Do not use the following types of ink on preprinted paper:
• Rapid binding ink
• Evaporative drying ink
• Low-temperature fixing ink
• Precipitation drying ink
• Penetration drying ink
• Soy ink
