Handling Paper 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. 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 Paper Specifications The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details are given on the following pages. Item Specification Weight Cassette: 60 to 105 g/m2 (16 to 28 lb/ream) MP tray: 45 to 200 g/m2 (12 to 53 lb/ream) Thickness 0.086 to 0.110 mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils) Dimensional accuracy ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) Squareness of corners 90° ±0.
Handling Paper 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.
Handling Paper MP tray Size Cassette or MP tray Size ISO B5 176 × 250 mm B4 257 × 364 mm Executive 7-1/4 × 10-1/2 inches B5 182 × 257 mm Envelope C4 229 × 324 mm Oficio II 8-1/2 × 13 inches Hagaki 100 × 148 mm Oufuku Hagaki 148 × 200 mm Youkei 2 114 × 162 mm Youkei 4 105 × 235 mm 8K 273 × 394 mm 16K 197 × 273 mm Paper with other sizes (custom sizes) can also be fed from the MP tray. The minimum size paper for manual feed is 88 × 148 mm (3-1/2 × 5-13/16 inches), fed lengthwise.
Handling Paper Paper Weight Equivalence Table The paper weight is listed in pounds (lb) and metric grams per square meter (g/m2). The shaded part indicates the standard weight. U. S. Bond Weight (lb) Europe Metric Weight (g/m2) 16 60 17 64 20 75 21 80 22 81 24 90 27 100 28 105 32 120 34 128 36 135 39 148 42 157 43 163 47 176 53 199 Thickness (Caliper) Thick paper is referred to as high-caliper paper and thin paper as lowcaliper paper.
Handling Paper 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, feedability, 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.
Handling Paper Electrostatic properties: During the printing process, the paper is electrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper must be able to release this charge so that printed sheets do not cling together in the output tray. Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the whiteness of the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper, brighter appearance.
Handling Paper Special Paper This section explains printing on special paper. The page printer can use the following types of special paper. In this case, set the media type according to the table below.
Handling Paper Transparency Transparency must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. It should satisfy the conditions given in the table below. 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° ± 0.2° If transparency jams frequently, pull the top of the sheet very gently as it leaves the printer.
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 Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive. Avoid long printing runs consisting of envelopes only. Extensive envelope printing can cause premature printer wear. To avoid jamming due to curled envelopes, do not leave more than approximately 10 printed envelopes stacked in the paper trays during multiple envelope printing. Thick Paper Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray.
Handling Paper Media 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 produre for loading paper. Paper can be loaded into the two paper cassettes and the MP tray. IMPORTANT: Fan the paper, then tap it on a level surface. This avoid media jams or skewed printing. Loading Paper into the Paper Cassette Up to about 500 sheets of standard paper (80 g/m2) can be loaded into the each paper cassette. Inch specifications Each paper cassette can be set to hold paper of any desired size from 11 × 17 to 5-1/2 × 8-1/2".
Handling Paper 2 ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE Hold the paper guide and move it to align the paper guide with the required paper width. Paper sizes are marked inside the paper cassette.
Handling Paper 3 Hold the paper stopper and move it to align with the required paper length. 4 Set the paper flush against the left-hand wall of the paper cassette. IMPORTANT:There is a sticker ( in the illustration) indicating paper capacity attached to the inside of the paper cassette. Do not load paper above this limit. When loading paper into the paper cassette, make sure that the print side is facing upward. (The print side is the side facing upward when the package is opened.
Handling Paper 5 Set the supplied paper size plate so that the size of the paper loaded can be checked by looking at the front of the paper cassette. 6 Push the paper cassette back until it stops. NOTE: Before leaving the printer in disuse for a prolonged period of time, remove the paper from the paper cassette(s) and seal it in its original packaging to protect from moisture. Also, when storing paper in a high temperature and high humidity environment, seal it in a moisture-proof bag.
Handling Paper Loading Paper into the MP (Multi-Purpose) Tray Special paper as well as standard paper can be loaded into the MP tray. When printing onto transparencies or thick paper, be sure to use the MP tray. IMPORTANT: When setting special paper, such as transparencies and thick paper, into the MP tray, select the type of paper by referring to Media Type on page 1-13. NOTE: The number of sheets of standard paper that can be loaded in the MP tray at a time is approximately 200.
Handling Paper 3 Adjust the insert guides to the size of the paper to be loaded. 4 Insert the paper along the guides as far as it will go. IMPORTANT: When loading paper into the MP tray, make sure that the print side is facing upward. (The print side is the side facing upward when the package is opened.) If the leading edge of the paper is curled, straighten it out before loading the paper in the MP tray.
Handling Paper Setting Envelopes When using the optional printer function, envelopes can be set in the MP tray. NOTE: Do not print on envelopes with flap adhesive exposed. This can cause printer malfunction. 1-20 1 Open the MP tray. 2 Align the insert guides with the envelope size. 3 Position the envelope against the insert guides with the print side facing upward, and insert it as far as it will go.
Handling Paper NOTE: Do not load more paper than will fit under the load limits on the inside of the MP tray. 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. Printed sheets will then come out flat.
