2 Paper Handling This chapter explains paper specifications for this printer and how to load paper into the cassette or MP tray.
General Guidelines The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper, 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. Using the wrong paper can result in paper jams, curling, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage the machine.
Minimum and Maximum Paper Sizes The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as follows. For non standard paper, the MP tray must be used. 105mm (4-1/8 inches) Maximum Paper Size 216mm (8-1/2 inches) 356mm (14 inches) 148mm (5-13/16 inches) 356mm (14 inches) Minimum Paper Size 148mm (5-13/16 inches) MP tray Paper cassette Minimum Paper Size 70mm (2-3/4 inches) Maximum Paper Size 216mm (8-1/2 inches) .
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.
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. The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 120g/m² (16 to 31.
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. When the relative humidity is low and the paper loses moisture, the edges shrink and tighten, and print contrast may suffer. Wavy or tight edges can cause jams and alignment anomalies. The moisture content of the paper should be 4 to 6%.
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) Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²) Colored paper Recycled paper Overhead projector transparencies Cardstock Envelopes Label Vellum Thick Color Recycled Transparency Cardstock Envelope Labels Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heatfusing type).
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. The carrier sheet (also called Carrier sheet the linear or backing sheet) holds the labels until used. Due to the complexity of its composition, adhesivebacked label paper is particularly likely to give printing problems.
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. Envelopes Up to 5 envelopes can be loaded at a time. Envelopes should be fed in the face-up position, right edge first. Since the composition of an envelope is more complex than that of ordinary paper, it is not always possible to ensure consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface.
Preprinted Paper Preprinted paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper. Refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2.The preprinted ink must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process, and must not be affected by silicone oil. Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as the type of paper commonly used for calendars. Recycled paper Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the white bond paper except for whiteness.
Paper Type The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting for the type of paper being used. A different paper type setting can be made for each paper source including the MP tray. Not only can preset paper types be selected, but it is also possible for you to define and select customized paper types. Paper type can be changed using the printer driver and the operation panel. The following types of paper can be used.
2-12 Paper Handling
3 Loading Paper This chapter explains the procedure for loading paper in the cassette and the MP tray.
Loading Paper into the Cassette The paper cassette can accommodate A6 (LP 3235: A5) to A4/Letter and Legal size paper and can hold approximately 500 sheets. 1 Pull the paper cassette all the way out of the printer. IMPORTANT When pulling the cassette out of the printer, ensure it is supported and does not fall out. Standard paper sizes are marked on the inside of the paper cassette. 2 Turn the paper size dial so that the size of the paper you are going to use appears in the paper size window.
3 Pull the release lever on the left side guide and slide to the desired paper size. 4 If you are going to set paper that is longer than A4, pull out the extension paper cassettes pushing the lock lever one by one and adjust them to the desired paper size. 5 Pull the release lever and slide the paper stopper to the desired paper size.
7 Place the paper in the paper cassette. Ensure the side to be printed is facing down and the paper is not folded, curled, or damaged. Note Do not load more paper than will fit under the load limits on the paper guides. 3-4 8 Set the stack of paper so that it is under the clips as shown. 9 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).
Loading Paper into MP (Multi-Purpose) Tray The MP tray can accommodate the various paper sizes and can hold approximately 100 sheets of paper. 3-6 1 Fan the media (paper/transparencies), then tap it on a level surface to avoid media jams or skewed printing. 2 Pull the MP tray towards you until it stops. 3 Pull out the subtray. 4 Adjust the position of the paper guides on the MP tray. Standard paper sizes are marked on the MP tray.
5 Align the paper with the paper guides and insert as far as it will go. Note 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. Correct Incorrect 6 Loading Paper When loading envelope, place with the envelope flap closed and keep the printing side face-up.
