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. Using the wrong paper can result in paper jams, misfeeding, curling, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage the printer. The guidelines given below will increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free printing and reducing wear and tear on the printer.

Paper Availability

Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with the printer.

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 printer. 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 printer’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 16, 20, and 28 pounds (60 to

105 g/m2).

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. Some of the factors to consider when selecting paper for the printer 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, misfeeding, and paper jams, and can shorten the life of the printer. In particular, avoid using paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. The 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 an MP tray are available for the paper sizes listed in the table below. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) for the length and width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.

	MP tray	Size	Cassette or	Size

	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. The maximum size is 297 × 450 mm (11-11/16 × 17-3/4 inches).

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, however, can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.)

Basis Weight

Basis weight is the weight of a standard quantity of paper. In the traditional system, the standard quantity is a ream consisting of 500 sheets measuring 17 × 22 inches each. In the metric system the standard quantity is 1 square meter.

Paper that is too light or too heavy can cause misfeeding, jams, and premature wear of the printer. Uneven paper weight can cause multiple feeds, print defects, poor toner fusing, blurring, and other print quality

problems. The proper weight is 60 to 105 g/m2 for the paper cassette, and 45 to 200 g/m2 for the MP tray.

Thickness (Caliper)

Thick paper is referred to as high-caliper paper and thin paper as lowcaliper paper. The paper used with the printer should be neither extremely thick nor extremely thin. If you are having problems with paper jams, multiple feeds, and faint printing, the paper you are using may be too thin. If you are having problems with paper jams and blurred printing, the paper may be too thick. The proper thickness is 0.086 to 0.110 mm (3.4 to

4.3 mils).

1-6	ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE

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. 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 misfeeding and alignment anomalies. The moisture content of the paper should be 4 to 6%. To ensure the proper moisture content, it is important to store the paper in a controlled environment. Some tips on moisture control are:

•Store paper in a cool, dry location.

•Keep the paper in its wrapping as long as possible. Rewrap paper that is not in use.

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

•After removing paper from storage, let it stand in the same room as the printer 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 running parallel to the length (long grain) or parallel to the width (short grain). Short grain paper can cause feeding problems in the printer. All paper used in the printer should be long grain.

Other Paper Properties

Porosity: Refers to the density of the paper structure; that is, how openly or compactly the fibers are bonded.

Stiffness: Limp paper can buckle inside the printer, while paper that is too stiff may bind. Either way the result is a paper jam.

Curl: Most paper has a natural tendency to curl in one direction. The paper should be loaded so that the natural curl is downward, to counteract the upward curl imparted by the printer. Printed sheets will then come out flat. Most paper also has a top and bottom surface. Loading instructions are usually given on the paper package.

NOTE: If the paper is considerably curled in one direction, e.g. when the paper was used to print on one side, try to roll the paper in the opposite direction to counteract the curl. Printed sheets will then come out flat.

ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE

1-7

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.

Quality control: Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, ragged edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed edges and corners can cause the printer to malfunction in various ways. A quality paper supplier should take considerable care to ensure that these problems do not occur.

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 properly packaged.

1-8	ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE

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.

Paper type to be used	Media type to be selected
Colored paper	Color
Preprinted paper	Preprinted
Overhead projector	Transparency
transparencies
Postcards	Cardstock
Envelopes	Envelope
Label	Labels

When using the above types of paper, be sure to use products that are specified for use with photocopiers and/or page printers. Feed paper other than colored paper or preprinted paper from the MP (multi-purpose) tray. Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers (heat-fusing type). Label paper and envelopes should not be placed in the cassette.

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

NOTE: Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on the printer and check that print quality is satisfactory.

Specifications for each type of special paper are given below.

ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE

1-9

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.

Adhesive-Backed Labels

The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into contact with any part of the printer. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the printer.

Label paper must be manually fed.

Label paper has a structure comprised of three layers, as shown in the figure below. The top sheet is printed on. The adhesive layer consists of pressure-sensitive adhesives. The carrier sheet (also called the linear or backing sheet) holds the labels until use. Due to the complexity of its composition, adhesive-backed label paper is particularly likely to give trouble in printing.

Top sheet (White bond paper) Adhesive

Carrier sheet

Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with no spaces between the individual labels. Labels with spaces in between are apt to peel off, causing serious paper jam problems.

1-10	ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE

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 4.2 mils)
Composite thickness	0.115 to 0.145 mm
	(4.5 to 5.7 mils)
Moisture content	4 to 6 % (composite)

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.

Envelopes

The printer can print on envelopes using paper with a basis weight of 60 to 79 g/m2 (16 to 21 lb/ream). Envelopes must be manually fed.

An envelope is a more complex object than a single sheet of paper. For this reason, it may not be possible to obtain consistent print quality over the entire envelope surface.

Many envelopes have a diagonal grain orientation (Refer to Paper

Grain on page 1-7). This orientation is more likely to wrinkle and crease on its way through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes for use with the printer, test a sample to verify the envelope’s suitability.

ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE

1-11

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. 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.

NOTE: If the paper jams even after you smooth it out, load the paper in the MP Tray with the leading edge raised up a few millimeters as shown in the illustration.

Colored Paper

Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper, listed in Paper Specifications on page 1-3. In addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to 200 °C or 392 °F).

Preprinted Paper

Preprinted paper should have a bond paper base. 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 (refer to Paper Specifications on page 1-3) except whiteness.

NOTE: Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the printer and check that the print quality is satisfactory.

1-12	ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE
