  • Page 42: Paper Availability

    General Guidelines The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper (the type used in ordinary dry copier machines), 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.

  • Page 43: Recommended Paper

    Minimum and Maximum Paper Sizes The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as follows. For non standard paper such as transparency, labels, vellum, cardstock, envelope, coated and thick, the MP (Multi-Purpose) tray must be used. For information on how to set paper sizes, refer to Media Type Set. (Paper type settings) on page 4-50.
  • Page 44 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 45 Cassette or MP Tray Only Size Size MP Tray Custom 98 × 148 to 297 × 432 mm (3-3/8 × 5-13/16 to 11-11/16 × 17 inches) 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.

  • Page 46: Moisture Content

    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 47: 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 48 printing. No liability will be assumed if moisture and so forth given off during printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator. Note Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on the machine and check that printing quality is satisfactory. Transparency Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process.
  • Page 49 Labels Labels must be fed from the MP tray. The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into contact with any part of the machine. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the machine. Label paper has a structure comprising of three layers, as shown in the diagram.
  • Page 50 Postcards Fan the stack of postcards and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Make sure the postcards you are going to set are not curled. Feeding curled postcards may cause paper jams. Some postcards have rough edges on the back (those are created when Rough the paper is cut).

  • Page 51: Colored Paper

    Thick Paper Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat place and rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth them.
