3 Handling Paper This chapter contains explanations on the following topics: General Guidelines Selecting the Right Paper Paper Type Loading Paper 3-1 3-2 3-4 3-13 3-14
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 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.
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 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. (Fogging is a gray background effect.) 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.
Handling Paper are having problems with paper jams and blurred printing the paper may be too thick. The correct thickness is 0.086 to 0.110 mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils). Moisture Content Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the dry mass of the paper. Moisture can affect the paper’s appearance, feed ability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner fusing characteristics. The moisture content of the paper varies with the relative humidity in the room.
Handling Paper Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from damage during transport. Quality paper obtained from a reputable supplier is usually correctly packaged. Note You might see the printer emitting steam in the area around the top tray if you use damp paper, but it is safe to continue printing.
Handling Paper Special Paper The following types of special paper can be used: Paper Type to be Used Paper Type to be Selected Thin paper (60 to 64 g/m²) VELLUM Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²) THICK Colored paper COLOR Recycled paper RECYCLED Overhead projector transparencies TRANSPARENCY Postcards CARDSTOCK Envelopes ENVELOPE Label LABELS Coated paper COATED Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heatfusing type).
Handling Paper To prevent printing problems, feed transparencies into the printer one sheet at a time from the MP tray. Always load the transparencies vertically (with the long edge towards the printer). If the transparencies have rough edges on the back, it may cause a paper jam. Remove the rough edges, reverse the sides or feed the sheet from the opposite edge. When unloading transparencies (e.g., for clearing jams), hold them carefully by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on them.
Handling Paper 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. Rough Edge Some postcards have rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the postcards on a flat place and rub the edges with, for example, a ruler to smooth them.
Handling Paper When you load envelopes or cardstock in the MP tray Load envelope with the print side facing up. Close the flap. Cardstock (Hagaki) Return postcard (Oufuku Hagaki) Open the flap. Portrait form envelopes Landscape form envelopes Note Use unfolded return postcard (Oufuku Hagaki). 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).
Handling Paper Colored Paper Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper, refer to Paper Specifications on page 3-2. In addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to 200 °C or 392 °F). Note If you use colored paper quite often, we recommend to use optional paper feeder PF-530.
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 operation 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 2 Paper Cassette 3 Pull the paper cassette all the way out of the printer. Turn the paper size dial so that the size of the paper you are going to use appears in the paper size window. Note When the paper size dial is set to Other the paper size must be set into the printer on the operation panel.
Handling Paper 5 While pressing the release lever, slide the paper stopper to the desired paper size. Release Lever Paper Stopper Standard paper sizes are marked on the inside of the paper cassette. 6 Slide the paper into the paper cassette. Load Limit 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 80 g/ m² (21 lb.) paper with a thickness of 0.11 mm.
Handling Paper Loading Paper into the MP (Multi-Purpose) Tray 1 2 Fan the media (paper), then tap it on a level surface to avoid media jams or skewed printing. Press the center of the MP tray, and pull it towards you until it stops. MP Tray 3 Pull the subtray toward you until it stops, making sure there are no gaps. Subtray 4 Adjust the position of the paper guides on the MP tray. Standard paper sizes are marked on the MP tray.
Handling Paper 5 Align the paper with the paper guides and insert as far as it will go. Note Do not load more paper than will fit under the load limits on the inside of the MP tray. When printing on transparencies, feed the sheets into the printer one at a time. Load Limit Load Limit 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.
