General Guidelines

The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper, but it canalso accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specifiedbelow.

Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper canresult in paper jams, curling, poor print quality, and paper waste, and inextreme cases can damage the machine. The guidelines given belowwill increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free printing and reducing wear and tear on the machine.

Paper Availability

Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper

intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with the machine.There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard, andpremium. The most significant difference between grades is the easewith which they pass through the machine. This is affected by thesmoothness, size, and moisture content of the paper, and the way inwhich the paper is cut. The higher the grade of paper you use, the lessrisk there will be of paper jams and other problems, and the higher thelevel of quality your printed output will reflect.

Differences between paper from different suppliers can also affect themachine's performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce high-quality results when the wrong paper is used. Low-priced paper is noteconomical in the long run if it causes printing problems.

Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights (definedlater). The traditional standard weights are 60 to 120 g/m2(16 to 31.9b).

Paper Specifications

The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Detailsare given on the following pages:

Note The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems thatoccur when paper not satisfying these requirements is 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 paperjams, and can shorten the life of the machine. In particular, avoid usingpaper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. Paper shouldhave as smooth and even a surface as possible.

Composition

Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and containsplastic or carbon. The heat of fusing can cause such paper to give offharmful fumes.

Bond paper should contain at least 80% pulp. Not more than 20% of thetotal paper content should consist of cotton or other fibers.

Paper Sizes

Cassettesand the MP Trayare available for the paper sizes shownbelow. The dimensional tolerances are 0.7mm for the length and width.The angle at the corners must be 90 0.2.

MP Tray:Envelope Monarch, Envelope #10, Envelope #9, Envelope #6,Envelope C5, Envelope DL, Legal, Letter, Statement, Oficio II,Executive, ISO A4, ISO A5, ISO A6, Folio, ISO B5, JIS B5, JIS B6,Hagaki, Ofuku-Hagaki, Youkei 2, Youkei 4, 16 kai, Custom (70 148 to216 356mm (2-13/16 5-13/16 to 8-1/2 14 inches))

Smoothness

The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a roughor sandy surface can cause blank spaces in the printed output. Paperthat is too smooth can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems.(Fogging is a gray background effect.)

Note If the length of custom paper is larger than 297mm (11-11/16inches), the printer can be specified ISO A4, Officio II, Folio, andLegal as the standard paper size.

Note If the length of custom paper is larger than 297mm (11-11/16inches), the printer can be specified ISO A4, Officio II, Folio, andLegal as the standard paper size.

Basis weight

Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter(g/m). Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause feed errors orpaper jams as well as premature wear of the product. Uneven weight of

paper, namely uneven paper thickness may cause multiple-sheetfeeding or print quality problems such as blurring because of poor tonerfusing.

The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 120g/m (16 to 31.9lib/ream) for the cassette and between 60 and 220g/m (16 to 59lib/ream) for the MP tray.

Paper Weight Equivalence Table

The paper weight is listed in pounds (lb) and metric grams per squaremeter (g/m). The shaded part indicates the standard weight.

Thickness

The paper used with the machine should be neither extremely thick norextremely thin. If you are having problems with paper jams, multiplefeeds, and faint printing, the paper you are using may be too thin. If youare having problems with paper jams and blurred printing the paper maybe too thick. The correct thickness is 0.086 to 0.110mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).

Moisture Content

Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the drymass of the paper. Moisture can affect the papers appearance, feed

ability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner fusing characteristics.

2-6 Loading Paper

The moisture content of the paper varies with the relative humidity in theroom. When the relative humidity is high and the paper absorbsmoisture, the paper edges expand, becoming wavy in appearance.When the relative humidity is low and the paper loses moisture, theedges shrink and tighten, and print contrast may suffer.

Wavy or tight edges can cause jams and alignment anomalies. Themoisture content of the paper should be 4 to 6%.

To ensure correct moisture content, it is important to store the paper in acontrolled 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 paperthat is not in use.

Store paper in its original carton. Place a pallet etc. under the cartonto separate it from the floor.

After removing paper from storage, let it stand in the same room asthe machine for 48 hours before use.

Avoid leaving paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight, or damp.

Paper Grain

When paper is manufactured, it is cut into sheets with the grain runningparallel to the length (long grain) or parallel to the width (short grain).Short grain paper can cause feeding problems in the machine. All paperused in the machine should be long grain.

Other Paper Properties

Porosity: Indicates the density of paper fiber.

Stiffness: Limp paper may buckle in the machine, resulting in paperjams.

Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl one way if left unpacked. Whenpaper passes through the fixing unit, it curls upward a little. To produceflat printouts, load the paper so that the upward pressure from themachine can correct their curling.

Electrostatic discharge: During the printing process the paper iselectrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper must be able torelease this charge so that printed sheets do not cling together in theOutput Tray.

Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the whitenessof the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper, brighter appearance.

Quality control: Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, raggededges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed edges and corners cancause the machine to malfunction in various ways. A quality papersupplier should take considerable care to ensure that these problems donot occur.

Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it fromdamage during transport. Quality paper obtained from a reputablesupplier is usually correctly packaged.

Special Paper

The following types of special paper can be used:

Thin paper (60 to 64 g/m)

Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m)

Colored paper

Recycled paper

Overhead projector transparencies

Cardstock

Coated paper

Envelopes

Labels

Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heat-fusing type). When using transparencies, labels, envelopes, cardstock,coated, or thick paper, feed the paper from the MP Tray.

Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably,special paper is more likely than white bond paper to give trouble duringprinting. No liability will be assumed if moisture and so forth given offduring printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator.

Transparency

This printer is available for monochorome printing on transparencies.Transparencies must be fed to the MP Tray. One transparency can beloaded at a time.

Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during theprinting process.

Transparencies must be placed on the MP traywith the long edgetowards the printer.

Labels

Labels must be fed to the MP Tray. One label can be loaded at a time.

The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive mustnever come into contact with any part of the machine. Adhesive papersticking to the drum or rollers will damage the machine.

Label paper has a structure

comprising of three layers, asshown in the diagram. The topsheet is printed on. Theadhesive layer consists ofpressure-sensitive adhesives.The carrier sheet (also calledthe linear or backing sheet)holds the labels until used.Due to the complexity of itscomposition, adhesive-backed label paper is particularly likely to give printing problems.

Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with nospaces between the individual labels. Labels with spaces in between are

liable to peel off, causing serious paper jam problems.

Note Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sampleon the machine and check that printing quality is satisfactory.

Top sheet (whitebond paper)Adhesive

Carrier sheet


36/109

2-8 Loading Paper

Some label paper is manufactured with an extra margin of top sheetaround the edge. Do not remove the extra top sheet from the carriersheet until after printing is finished.

The table below lists the specifications for adhesive label paper.

Postcards

Up to 10 postcards can be loaded at a time. Fan the stack of postcards

and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Make sure thepostcards you are going to set are not curled. Feeding curled postcardsmay cause paper jams.

Some postcards have rough edges on the back (those are created whenthe paper is cut). In this case, put the postcards on a flat place and rubthe edges with, for example, a ruler to smooth them.

Envelopes

Up to 5 envelopes can be loaded at a time. Envelopes should be fed inthe face-up position, right edge first.

Since the composition of an envelope is more complex than that ofordinary paper, it is not always possible to ensure consistent printing

quality over the entire envelope surface.

Normally, envelopes have a diagonal grain direction. Refer to PaperGrain on page 2-6. This direction can easily cause wrinkles and creaseswhen envelopes pass through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes,make a test print to check whether the printer accepts the envelope.

Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive.

Avoid a long printing session for envelopes only. Extended envelopeprinting can cause premature printer wear.

If jams occur, try setting less envelopes on the MP tray.

To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10printed envelopes on the output tray.

Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in theMP tray. Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those arecreated when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat placeand rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth

them. Feeding rough edged paper may cause paper jams.

Colored Paper

Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper.Refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2. In addition, the pigmentsused in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during theprinting process (up to 200C or 392F).

Preprinted Paper

Preprinted paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bondpaper. Refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2.The preprinted inkmust 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 ofpaper commonly used for calendars.

Recycled paper

Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the whitebond paper except for whiteness. Refer to Paper Specifications onpage 2-2.

Note If the paper jamseven after you smooth itout, load the paper inthe MP Tray with theleading edge raised upa few millimeters asshown in theillustration.
