Chapter 5 Paper Selection 5 This chapter explains the following topics: • • • • General Guidelines Selecting the Right Paper Special Paper Paper Type 5-1
General Guidelines 5.1 General Guidelines The printer is designed to print on high-quality copier bond paper (the kind used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below. The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used. Note 5.1.1 Selection of the right paper is important.
Selecting the Right Paper 5.2 Selecting the Right Paper Laser printing is a process involving laser light, electrostatic discharge, toner, and heat. In addition, as the paper passes through the printer it undergoes considerable sliding, bending, and twisting motions. A highquality printing paper matching the printer’s requirements withstands all these stresses, enabling the printer to turn out clean, crisp printed copies consistently. Remember that all paper is not the same.
Selecting the Right Paper Paper Size Cassettes and an MP tray are available for the paper sizes listed in Table 5.2. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) for the length and width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°. Table 5.
Selecting the Right Paper Thickness (Caliper) Thick paper is referred to as high-caliper paper and thin paper as lowcaliper paper. The paper used with the printer 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 proper thickness is 0.086 to 0.110 mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).
Selecting the Right Paper Other Paper Properties Porosity: Refers to the density of the paper structure; that is, to how openly or compactly the fibers are bonded. Stiffness: Limp paper can buckle inside the printer, while paper that is too stiff may bind. Either way the result is a paper jam. Curl: Most paper has a natural tendency to curl in one direction. The paper should be loaded so that the natural curl is downward, to counteract the upward curl imparted by the printer.
Special Paper 5.3 Special Paper The following types of special paper can be used: • Transparency (overhead projection film) • Adhesive-backed label paper • Envelopes • Colored paper • Preprinted paper • Recycled paper Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers (heat-fusing type). Transparency, label paper, and envelopes should not be placed in the paper cassette; they must be fed from the MP tray and delivered in the face up stack.
Special Paper 5.3.2 Adhesive-Backed Labels The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into contact with any part of the printer. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the printer. Label paper must be manually fed. Label paper has a structure comprising three layers, as shown in Table 5.1 on page 5-2. The top sheet is printed on. The adhesive layer consists of pressure-sensitive adhesives.
Special Paper Table 5.4 lists the specifications for adhesive label paper. Table 5.4 Adhesive Label Specifications Item Specification Weight of top sheet 44 to 74 g/m2 (12 to 20 lb/ream) Composite weight 104 to 151 g/m2 (28 to 40 lb/ream) Thickness of top sheet 0.086 to 0.107 mm (3.9 to 4.2 mils) Composite thickness 0.115 to 0.145 mm (4.5 to 5.
Special Paper Recycled Paper Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the white bond paper (see Table 5.1 on page 5-2) except whiteness. Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the printer and check that the printing quality is satisfactory.
Paper Type 5.4 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 by using the Remote Operation Panel utility 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.
Appendix A Fonts A This chapter describes the types of fonts you can use with the printer.
