1 Handling Paper This chapter contains explanations on the following topics: • • • • ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE General Guidelines....................................................... 1-2 Selecting the Right Paper............................................. 1-4 Paper Type ................................................................. 1-12 Loading Paper ............................................................
Handling Paper 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. Selection of the right paper is important.
Handling Paper Item Specification Moisture content 4% to 6% Direction of grain Long grain Pulp content 80% or more Minimum and Maximum Paper Sizes The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as follows. For non standard paper, the MP tray must be used.
Handling 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.
Handling Paper MP tray Cassette or MP tray Size 16 kai Size Youkei 2 114 × 162mm 197mm × 273mm Youkei 4 105 × 235mm Custom Cassette: 148 to 216mm × 210 to 356mm (5-13/16 to 8-1/2 inches × 8-1/4 to 14 inches) MP tray: 70 to 216mm × 148 to 356mm (2-13/16 to 8-1/2 inches × 5-13/16 to 14 inches) Smoothness The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or sandy surface can cause voids in the printed output.
Handling Paper U. S. Bond Weight (lb) Europe Metric Weight (g/m²) 34 128 36 135 39 148 42 157 43 163 47 176 53 199 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. The correct thickness is 0.086 to 0.110mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).
Handling Paper grain paper can cause feeding problems in the machine. All paper used in the machine should be long grain. Other Paper Properties Porosity: Indicates the density of paper fiber. Stiffness: Limp paper may buckle in the machine, resulting in paper jams. Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl one way if left unpacked. When paper passes through the fixing unit, it curls upward a little.
Handling Paper Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably, special paper is more likely than white bond paper to give trouble during 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.
Handling Paper Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with no spaces between the individual labels. Labels with spaces in between are liable to peel off, causing serious paper jam problems. Some label paper is manufactured with an extra margin of top sheet around the edge. Do not remove the extra top sheet from the carrier sheet until after printing is finished. Acceptable Unacceptable Top sheet Carrier sheet The table below lists the specifications for adhesive label paper.
Handling Paper Envelopes Envelopes should be fed in the face-up position, right edge first. Since the composition of an envelope is more complex than that of ordinary paper, it is not always possible to ensure consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface. Normally, envelopes have a diagonal grain direction. See Paper Grain on page 1-6. This direction can easily cause wrinkles and creases when envelopes pass through the printer.
Handling Paper Preprinted Paper Preprinted paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper, refer to Paper Specifications, on page 1-2.The preprinted ink must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process, and must not be affected by silicone oil. Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as the type of paper commonly used for calendars.
Handling Paper Paper Type The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting for the type of paper being used. Setting the paper type for the paper source from the printer’s operator panel will cause the printer to automatically select the paper source and print in the mode best suited to that type of paper. A different paper type setting can be made for each paper source including the MP tray.
Handling Paper Loading Paper The following explains the procedure for loading paper in the cassette and the MP tray. Loading Paper into the Cassette 1 Fan the media (paper/transparencies), then tap it on a level surface to avoid media jams or skewed printing. 2 Pull the paper cassette all the way out of the printer. Paper Cassette 3 Push the bottom plate down until it locks.
Handling Paper Standard paper sizes are marked on the inside of the paper cassette. 4 Turn the paper size dial so that the size of the paper you are going to use appears in the paper size window. Paper Size Dial Paper Size Window NOTE: When the paper size dial is set to OTHER the paper size must be set into the printer on the operator panel. See Setting the Cassette Paper Size on page 2-63.
Handling Paper 5 Pull the release lever on the left side guide and slide to the desired paper size. Release Lever Paper Guides 6 Pull the release lever and slide the paper stopper to the desired paper size. When using non-standard size paper, move the paper guides and paper stopper all the way out, insert the paper, then adjust the paper guides and paper stopper to the size of the paper. Adjust them so that they are in light contact with the paper.
Handling Paper 7 Slide the paper into the paper cassette. NOTE: Do not load more paper than will fit under the load limits on the paper guides. The paper cassette will hold approximately 500 sheets of 80g/m² (21 lb.) paper with a thickness of 0.11mm.
Handling Paper 8 Set the stack of paper so that it is under the clips as shown. 9 Insert the paper cassette into the slot in the printer. Push it straight in as far as it will go. Clip Clip There is a paper gauge on the right side of the front of the paper cassette to indicate the remaining paper supply. When paper is exhausted, the pointer will go down to the level of (empty).
Handling Paper Loading Paper into the MP (Multi-Purpose) Tray 1 Fan the media (paper/transparencies), then tap it on a level surface to avoid media jams or skewed printing. 2 Pull the MP tray towards you until it stops. MP Tray 3 Pull out the subtray.
Handling Paper 4 Flip the support wire when you load Legal size paper. (U.S.A. only) Support Wire 5 Adjust the position of the paper guides on the MP tray. Standard paper sizes are marked on the MP tray. For standard paper sizes, slide the guides to the position marked correspondingly.
Handling Paper 6 Align the paper with the paper guides and insert as far as it will go. Load Limit Load Limit NOTE: Do not load more paper than will fit under the load limits on the inside of the MP tray. If the paper is considerably curled in one direction, for example, if the paper is already printed on one side, try to roll the paper in the opposite direction to counteract the curl. Printed sheets will then come out flat.
