1 Handling Paper This chapter contains explanations on the following topics: • General Guidelines...1-2 • Selecting the Right Paper...1-4 • Paper Type...
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, 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 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.
Handling Paper To ensure correct moisture content, it is important to store the paper in a controlled environment. Some tips on moisture control are: • Store paper in a cool, dry location. • Keep the paper in its wrapping as long as possible. Re-wrap paper that is not in use. • Store paper in its original carton. Place a pallet etc. under the carton to separate it from the floor. • After removing paper from storage, let it stand in the same room as the machine for 48 hours before use.
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 Preprinted paper Preprinted Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heat-fusing type).
Handling Paper 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. 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.
Handling Paper 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). 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. Feeding rough edged paper may cause paper jams.
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.
