Appendix Basic Paper Specifications This machine is designed to print on standard copy paper as used in regular ('dry') copiers and page printers such as laser printers. It also supports a variety of other types of paper that conform to the specifications given in this appendix. Be careful when choosing paper.
Appendix Supported Paper Sizes Paper of the following sizes is supported by the machine. Measurements in the table take into account a ±0.7 mm dimensional accuracy for length and width. Corner angles must be 90° ± 0.2°. Multi Purpose Tray Cassette or Multi Purpose Tray A6-R (105 ×...
Appendix Thickness Avoid using paper that is too thick or thin. Signs that paper may be thin include frequent problems with paper jams or with several sheets being supplied at once. Paper jams may also indicate that the paper is too thick. The proper thickness is between 0.086 and 0.110 mm.
Appendix Specially treated paper: We do not recommend printing onto the following types of paper, even if it conforms to the basic specifications. When you use these kinds of paper, purchase a small amount first as a sample to test. •...

Appendix Transparencies Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of printing. Transparencies must meet the following conditions. Criteria Specifications Heat resistance Must withstand at least 190°C Thickness 0.100 to 0.110 mm Material Polyester Dimensional accuracy ±0.7 mm Squareness of corners 90°...
Appendix Thick Paper Before loading thick paper in the multi purpose tray, fan it and align the edges. Some thick paper may still have rough edges developed by a paper cutter on the back side. Remove any such rough edges just as with Hagaki by placing the paper on a flat surface and rubbing the edges gently a few times with a ruler.
Appendix Use label paper that conforms to the following specifications. Item Specifications Top sheet weight 44 to 74 g/m² Basis weight 104 to 151 g/m² (overall paper weight) Top sheet thickness 0.086 to 0.107 mm Overall paper thickness 0.115 to 0.145 mm Moisture content 4 to 6 % (composite) Colored Paper...

Appendix Glossary Auto Form Feed Timeout During data transmission, the machine may sometimes have to wait until receiving the next data. This is the auto form feed timeout. When the preset timeout passes, the machine automatically prints output. However, no output is performed if the last page has no data to be printed.
Appendix dpi(dots per inch) A unit for resolution, representing the number of dots printed per inch (25.4 mm). EcoPrint Mode A printing mode that helps save toner. Copies made in this mode are thus lighter than normal. Emulation The function to interpret and execute other printers' page description languages. The machine emulates operation of PCL6, KPDL3 (PostScript 3 compatible).
Appendix PDF/A This is "ISO 19005-1. Document management - Electronic document file format for long-term preservation - Part 1: Use of PDF (PDF/A)", and is a file format based on PDF 1.4.

Appendix TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) TCP/IP is a suite of protocols designed to define the way computers and other devices communicate with each other over a network. TCP/IP (IPv6) TCP/IP (IPv6) is based on the current Internet protocol, TCP/IP (IPv4). IPv6 is the next-generation Internet protocol and expands the available address space, which resolves the problem of the lack of addresses under IPv4, while also introducing other improvements such as additional security functionality and the capacity to prioritize data transmission.
