Special Paper

Appendix-6
Curl: Most paper has a natural tendency to curl in one direction. The paper
should be loaded so that the natural curl is downward, to counteract the
upward curl imparted by the machine. Printed sheets will then come out
flat. Most paper also has a top and bottom surface. Loading instructions
are usually given on the paper package.
NOTE:
If the paper is considerably curled in one direction, e.g. when the
paper was used to print on one side, try to roll the paper in the opposite
direction to counteract the curl. Printed sheets will then come out flat.
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.
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. A quality paper supplier
should take considerable care to ensure that these problems do not occur.
Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from
damage during transport. Quality paper obtained from a reputable supplier
is usually correctly packaged.
The following types of special paper can be used:
• Transparency (overhead projection film)
• Adhesive-backed label paper
• Envelopes
• Colored paper
• Preprinted paper
• Recycled paper
Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers (heat-fusing type).
Transparency, label paper, and envelopes should not be placed in the
paper cassette; they must be fed from the MP tray and delivered in the face
up stack.
