Appendix C Paper Specifications Media Guidelines Several types of media can be used in the printer, provided they meet certain guidelines. This appendix provides criteria for purchasing print media. You will also find guidelines for printing on special print media. General Media Recommendations Use high-quality xerographic paper for printing applications. The paper should be of good quality, free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges.
Paper Specifications Characteristics Recommendation Paper Grade No. 1 or No. 4 Xerographic (Note 1) Fiber Composition 100% chemical wood pulp Color White or pastel color Ash Content 18% maximum (Notes 2 and 4) Filler Kaolin or china clay (aluminosilicate) or calcium carbonate. Titanium dioxide or magnesium silicate may be added to improve brightness. Grain Direction Parallel to the long dimension (grain long) CaCO3 Content 0% (Paper that contains CaCO3 can drastically reduce fuser life.
Paper Weight Paper weight (also referred to as basis weight) for the U.S. market is measured as the weight in pounds of a ream of paper in the basic size for that grade of paper. The basic size differs between the various grades of paper. For cross reference information of basis weight for different paper types, see the table below. Using the metric system, basis weight is measured as the weight of one square meter of paper and is expressed in grams per square meter or g/m2.
Paper Composition Use paper made from 100% chemical wood pulp. Paper that contains mechanicallypulped wood or cotton is not recommended due to natural impurities, such as CaCO3, that can contaminate the surface of the photoconductor, thereby decreasing the life of the photoconductor and/or the fuser. Do not use coated paper containing material that will melt, vaporize, offset, discolor, or release hazardous emissions when exposed to high temperatures.
Paper Smoothness Paper smoothness affects print quality and paper handling. Paper should not have a rough texture. A rough texture provides poor toner adhesion, particularly in “black fill” areas. Neither should the paper be too smooth, as this can also affect toner adhesion. Paper that is too smooth has inadequate friction and can cause paper handling difficulties. Do not use paper with embossed or raised surfaces. Spotty printing and misfeeding may occur.
Paper Curl Paper curl is a very significant factor in printer performance. It can affect the printer in the following ways: Paper jam, paper skew and ability to be picked up Paper stacking uniformly in the output stacker Paper wrinkles through the heat roller (fuser). Nearly all paper has curl or a tendency to curl. Curl can occur after the paper passes through the printer’s fuser where it is exposed to high temperatures.
Recycled Paper Recycled paper is made from used paper. The used paper is dissolved into fibers and then mixed with new paper fibers. However, various kinds of low-grade used paper (such as newspapers and magazines) are added to high-grade old paper. The paper manufacturer must have a high level of expertise and exercise strict controls regarding the use of used paper in recycled paper production.
Special Media The printer can use special media that has been designed and treated for xerographic use. Preprinter paper Prepunched paper Index paper Adhesive labels Perforated paper Tab paper Transparencies It is recommended that a small sample (500 to 1000 sheets) of the special paper be tested before production quantities are purchased.
Ink Recommendations Ink used in preprinting should be non-volatile and oily. Ink suitable for pre-printing is cured by: Ultraviolet or heat (cured for 1 day) Oxidative polymerization (cured for 7 days) Ink cured by heat (Tinplate Ink) Before using preprinted forms, make sure the ink is completely cured to prevent it from transferring to the printer’s rollers and contaminating the internal printer mechanism.
Prepunched Paper Prepunched paper should be flat and without deformation. Do not use paper with ragged or damaged hole edges. Any paper pieces resulting from the punching operation and paper dust should be removed before using. Use prepunched paper with holes that conform to the following specifications: Maximum of four holes. Maximum hole diameter of 8.0 mm (0.315 in.). Holes must not be located in or protrude into the shaded area shown below. 5 mm (0.2 in) 5 mm (0.2 in) 5 mm (0.2 in) 5 mm (0.
Adhesive Labels An adhesive label is paper with a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing. Label stock consists of three components: the top or face sheet, the adhesive, and the liner or carrier sheet, sometimes referred to as the backing. Note the following points about label stock: When exposed to the heat of the fuser, the label stock should not curl significantly, and the adhesive should remain stable so that it does not release any hazardous emissions.
Adhesive Label Configuration The illustration on the left shows label stock with space between the individual labels. This can cause paper jams and/or labels to peel off during the printing process. The illustration on the right shows the recommended label stock without spaces between the individual labels. Refer to “Adhesive Label Specifications” on page C-13 when purchasing label stock.
Adhesive Label Specifications Use the following specifications when purchasing label stock. Characteristics Recommendation Total Basis Weight Notes 2 and 4 32 lb (160 g/m2) (includes face sheet, adhesive, and carrier) Caliper Notes 1, 2, and 4 5.7 mils (145 µm) maximum (includes face sheet, adhesive, and carrier) Face Stock Smoothness (Sheffield) Notes 1, 2, and 3 100-200 Sheffield units Coefficient of Static Friction 0.35 to 0.
Perforated Paper A perforation is a series of holes punched through the paper to aid in the separation of one piece from another. Perforated paper can cause jams, misfeeds, and even printer damage. The following guidelines should be used when ordering perforated paper: Perforations should be free from any burrs and paper dust to avoid multiple feed, contamination, or paper jam problems. Avoid use of perforations that are not flat.
Do not print within a 5 mm area around the perforations. 5 mm (0.2 in) 5 mm (0.2 in) Tab Stock The following sizes and weights of tab stock are supported. Tab Cut Paper Size Paper Weight 3-cut A4/Letter 90 lb/110 lb 5-cut A4/Letter 90 lb/110 lb 8-cut A4/Letter 90 lb/110 lb Transparencies Transparency stock is used primarily to create images that can be used with projection equipment. Transparencies are made from polyester film that has been specially coated to allow toner to stick to it.
Printing Guidelines Printable Area Printable area means the area of the page on which you can print. Print quality can degrade when printing outside the following print area: The printable area is 6 mm (0.24 in) from the top, 8 mm (0.31 in) from the bottom, and 5 mm (0.2 in) from the left and right sides of the paper. The printable area is 3 mm (0.12 in) from the edge of any punched holes to minimize printer contamination. The printable area is marked with diagonal lines. 5 mm (0.2 in) 5 mm (0.
Proper Paper Handling Paper is easily affected by storage conditions such as temperature and humidity. If the proper moisture content of the paper is not maintained, the paper may become deformed and cause paper jams. Take the following precautions to avoid paper problems: 1. Unwrap paper just before printing. The packaging is made of moisture-proof materials to protect the paper from humidity. 2. If the paper is curled or warped, load the paper as shown below. 3.
Check Paper Quality Carefully examine the paper when unwrapping or before loading into the tray. Discard paper with creases, tears, dog-eared corners, curled edges, wavy edges, or tight edges as it may cause paper jams or paper skewing.
Loading Paper 1. Do not pick up or hold too much paper at one time. For example, when loading 1000 sheets of paper, load them 200-250 sheets at a time. 2. Gently place the paper vertically in the tray. Do not slide the paper into the tray. Check to see that paper is correctly loaded. Look for tears, disarranged sheets, folded edges or dog-eared corners that may have occurred during loading.
