3 Loading Paper This chapter explains paper specifications for this printer and how to load paper into the cassette or Manual Feed tray. General Guidelines ................................................................................................................................................ 3-2 Selecting the Right Paper...................................................................................................................................... 3-4 Paper Type ..............................
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. Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper can result in paper jams, curling, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage the machine.
Loading Paper Minimum and Maximum Paper Sizes The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as follows.
Loading Paper 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. In particular, avoid using paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. Paper should have as smooth and even a surface as possible.
Loading Paper Basis weight Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter (g/m²). Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause feed errors or paper jams as well as premature wear of the product. Uneven weight of paper, namely uneven paper thickness may cause multiple-sheet feeding or print quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner fusing. The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 220 g/m² (16 to 58.5 lib/ream).
Loading Paper Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl one way if left unpacked. When paper passes through the fixing unit, it curls upward a little. To produce flat printouts, load the paper so that the upward pressure from the machine can correct their curling. Electrostatic discharge: 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.
Loading Paper Top sheet (white bond paper) Adhesive Carrier sheet Label paper has a structure comprising of three layers, as shown in the diagram. The top sheet is printed on. The adhesive layer consists of pressure-sensitive adhesives. The carrier sheet (also called the linear or backing sheet) holds the labels until used. Due to the complexity of its composition, adhesive-backed label paper is particularly likely to give printing problems.
Loading Paper Thick Paper If an excessive amount of thick paper is loaded in the cassette, it may not be fed. In that case, reduce the number of sheets to be loaded. Burrs Burrs Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the paper source. 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.
Loading Paper Paper Type The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting for the type of paper being used. Not only can preset paper types be selected, but it is also possible for you to define and select customized paper types. Paper type can be changed using the printer driver and KYOCERA Client Tool. The following types of paper can be used.
Loading Paper Preparing the Paper After removing paper from the packaging, fan through the sheets to separate them prior to loading. If using paper that has been folded or is curled, straighten it prior to loading. Failure to do so may result in a paper jam. IMPORTANT Ensure paper is not stapled and clips are removed. Loading Paper into Cassette 250 sheets of Letter or A4 paper (80 g/m²) may be loaded into the cassette. 1 Open the cassette cover.
Loading Paper 2 Adjust the position of the width guides located on the left and right sides of the cassette. Note Paper sizes are marked on the cassette. 3 Adjust the paper length guide to the paper size required. Note When using paper larger than A4/Letter, pull out the paper length guide. When using A6 paper, attach the stopper. Move the stopper to the A6 position.
Loading Paper 4 Load the paper all the way in the cassette until the paper touches the far inner side. Ensure the side to be printed is facing up and the paper is not folded, curled, or damaged. IMPORTANT Adjust so that there is no gap between the paper length guide and the paper. Note Load an amount of paper that fits under (does not contact) the tabs on the width guides. When using A6 paper, load the paper as shown in the illustration. 5 Close the cassette cover.
Loading Paper When you attach the cassette cover Attach the cassette cover as shown in the illustration. Loading Paper into Manual Feed Tray (FS-1060DN/FS-1061DN only) The FS-1060DN/FS-1061DN can load one sheet into the Manual Feed tray. 1 Adjust the position of the paper guides on the Manual Feed tray. Standard paper sizes are marked on the Manual Feed tray. For standard paper sizes, slide the paper guides to the corresponding mark.
