IMPORTANT If you install the toner container and switch on the power, a screen with two bars ( ) rotating is shown on the display on the operation panel. When the machine is first switched on after toner installation, there will be a delay of approximately 7 minutes before the machine gets ready to use.
Preparation Loading Paper General Guidelines The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper, but it can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below. Note The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.
Preparation Minimum and Maximum Paper Sizes The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as follows. Minimum Paper Size 70 mm (2-3/4 inches) Maximum Paper Size 216 mm (8-1/2 inches) 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.
Page 23
Preparation The moisture content of the paper varies with the relative humidity in the room. When the relative humidity is high and the paper absorbs moisture, the paper edges expand, becoming wavy in appearance. When the relative humidity is low and the paper loses moisture, the edges shrink and tighten, and print contrast may suffer.
Preparation Special Paper The following types of special paper can be used: • Preprinted paper • Labels* • Bond paper • Recycled paper • Thin paper* (60 to 64 g/m²) • Rough paper • Letterhead • Colored paper • Prepunched paper •...
