ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE v Introduction vi ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE 1 Handling Paper This chapter contains explanations on the following topics: · · · · General Guidelines....................................................... 1-2 Selecting the Right Paper............................................. 1-4 Paper Type ................................................................. 1-12 Loading Paper ............................................................ 1-13 ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE 1-1 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. Using the wrong paper can result in paper jams, curling, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage the machine. The guidelines given below will 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, and premium. The most significant difference between grades is the ease with which they pass through the machine. This is affected by the smoothness, size, and moisture content of the paper, and the way in which the paper is cut. The higher the grade of paper you use, the less risk there will be of paper jams and other problems, and the higher the level of quality your printed output will reflect. Differences between paper from different suppliers can also affect the machine's performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce high-quality results when the wrong paper is used. Low-priced paper is not economical in the long run if it causes printing problems. Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights (defined later). The traditional standard weights are 60 to 105 g/m² (16 to 28 pounds). Paper Specifications The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details are given on the following pages. Item Weight Thickness Dimensions Dimensional accuracy Squareness of corners Specification Cassette: 60 to 105g/m² (16 to 28 lb/ream) MP Tray: 60 to 200g/m² (16 to 53 lb/ream) 0.086 to 0.110mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils) See Paper Sizes on page 1-4 ±0.7mm (±0.0276 inches) 90° ±0.2° 1-2 ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE Handling Paper Item Moisture content Direction of grain Pulp content 4% to 6% Long grain 80% or more Specification Minimum and Maximum Paper Sizes The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as follows.

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. Composition Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and contains plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing can cause such paper to give off harmful fumes. Bond paper should contain at least 80 % pulp. Not more than 20 % of the total paper content should consist of cotton or other fibers. Paper Sizes Cassettes and the MP Tray are available for the paper sizes listed in the table below. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7mm (±0.0276 inches) for the length and width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.

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. Uneven weight of paper, namely uneven p ...
