2 Handling Paper This chapter contains explanations on the following topics: General Guidelines Selecting the Right Paper Paper Type Loading Paper Handling Paper 2-2 2-4 2-13 2-14 2-1
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. When the relative humidity is high and the paper absorbs moisture, the paper edges expand, becoming wavy in appearance.
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.
Transparency Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. The recommended transparency product is 3M CG3700 (Letter, A4). The table below lists the specifications for transparency: Item Specification Tolerance of heat Must tolerate at least 190 °C (374 °F) Thickness 0.100 to 0.110 mm (3.9 to 4.3 mils) Material Polyester Dimensional accuracy ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) Squareness of corners 90° ±0.
Labels Labels must be fed from the MP tray. The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into contact with any part of the machine. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the machine. Label paper has a structure comprising of three layers, as shown in the diagram. The top Top sheet (white sheet is printed on. The bond paper) adhesive layer consists of Adhesive pressure-sensitive adhesives.
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. 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. Rough Edge Rough Edge Envelopes Slide the envelope switch to envelope mode and print.
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.
Paper Type Indicators (Optional paper feeder PF-510) If you are going to load non standard paper in the optional paper feeder PF-510, cut out the blank section of the attached paper type indicator sheet, fold the remaining sheet in half and insert it into the cassette's display folder so that the paper type symbol is displayed.
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.
Loading Paper The following explains the procedure for loading paper in the cassette and the MP tray. Loading Paper into the Cassette Paper Cassette A4 Paper Size Dial 2-14 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. 3 Turn the paper size dial so that the size of the paper you are going to use appears in the paper size window.
Paper Guides 4 Pull the release lever of both side guides and slide to the desired paper size. 5 Pull the release lever and slide the paper stopper to the desired paper size. Release Lever Release Lever Paper Stopper 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.
7 Insert the paper cassette into the slot in the printer. Push it straight in as far as it will go. 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). Paper Gauge 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.
Load Limit 4 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. 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.
Paper stopper Align the paper stopper to the desired paper size. • For A4 or Letter size paper : Align with position ➀. • For Legal size paper : Align with position ➁.
