General Guidelines

Paper Availability

The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper (th e 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 ca n result in paper jams, curling, poor print quality, and pape r 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.
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 th e 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 produ ce 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).

Selecting the Right Paper

Condition

Composition

This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper.
Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn , embosse d, 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 sh ould have as smooth and even a surface as possible.
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 for the length and width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.

The paper should have a smooth, uncoated sur face. 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 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-sh eet feeding or print quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner fusing.
The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 105g/m² for the cassette and between 60 and 220g/m² fo r the MP tra y.

The paper used with the machine 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 usin g may be too thin. If you are having problems with paper jams and blurred printing the pape r may be too thick. The correct thickness is 0.086 to 0.110mm.
Moisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the dry mass of the paper. Moisture can affect the paper’s appearance, feed ability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner fusing characteristics.

Paper Grain

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 appea rance. 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%.
To ensure correct 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. Re-wrap 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 machine for 48 hours before use.
Avoid leaving paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight, or damp.
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 machine. All paper used in the machine should be long grain.

Other Paper Properties

Porosity: Indicates the density of paper fiber.
1-6 ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE
Handling Paper
Stiffness: Limp paper may buckle in the machine, resulting in pap er jams. Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl one way if left unpacked. When
paper passes through the fixing unit, it curls upward a little. To produce flat printouts, load the paper so that the upward pressure from the machine can correct their curling.
Electrostatic discharge: 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 cor ners can cause the machine to malfunction in various ways. A quality paper supplier should take considerable care to ensure that the se problems do not o ccur.
Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from damage during transport. Quality paper obta ined from a reputable supplier is usually correctly packaged.

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) Vellum Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²) Thick Colored paper Color Recycled paper Recycled Overhead projector transparencies Transparency Postcards Cardstock Envelopes Envelope Label Labels
Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heat­fusing type). When using transparencies, labels, thin paper, envelopes, postcards, 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 during printing. No liability will be assumed if moisture and so forth given off during printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator.
ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE 1-7
Handling Paper
NOTE: Before purchasing any type of special p aper , test a sample on the
machine and check that printing quality is satisfactory.
Transparency
Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. The recommended transparency product is 3M PP2500 (Letter, A4).
Transparencies must be placed on the MP tray with the long edge towards the printer.
MP Tray
Labels
When unloading transparencies (e.g., for clearing jams), hold them carefully by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on them.
Labels must be fed from the MP Tray. The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must
never come into contact with any part of the machine. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the machine.
Label paper has a structure comprising of three layers, as shown in the diagram. The top sheet is printed on. The adhesive layer consists of pressure­sensitive adhesives. The carrier sheet (also called the linear or
Top sheet (white bond paper) Adhesive
Carrier sheet
backing sheet) holds the labels until used. Due to the complexity of its composition, adhesive­backed label paper is particularly likely to give printing problems.
Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with no spaces between the individual labels. Labels with spaces in between are liable to peel off, causing serious paper jam problems.
1-8 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.

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.
Rough Edge
Rough Edge
ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE 1-9
Handling Paper
Envelopes
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.
Normally, envelopes have a diagonal grain direction. Refer to Paper Grain on page 1-6. This direction can easily cause wrinkles and creases when envelopes pass through the printer. Be fore 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 envelope
printing can cause premature printer wear.
If jams occur, try setting a lesser number of envelopes on the MP tray.
To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10
printed envelopes on the output tray.
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, refer to Paper Specifications, on page 1-2. 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 satisfy the same conditions as white bo nd paper, refer to Paper Specifications, on page 1-2.The preprinted ink must be able
1-10 ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE
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, refer to Paper Specifications, on page 1-
2.
NOTE: Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the machine
and check that the printing quality is satisfactory.

General Information

This chapter provides the information you need to configure the Ecosys printer. In general you need to use the operation panel only to make default settings. You can make most changes to the printer settings using the printer driver through the application software.
NOTE: Changes to printer settings made using a software application
override changes made using the operation panel.
You can also rely on other printer utilities such as KM-NET for Clients if you need to change settings that are not available on the printer driver. It will allow remote access to printer settings. Printer utilities are supplied in the CD-ROM supplied with the printer.
The chapter describes the operation panel in detail, including its menus and the procedures for changing various printer settings.

e-MPS

Using the Operation Panel
e-MPS is an abbreviation for enhanced-Multiple Printing System which implements the following functions that are available from the printer driver:
Job Retention
Job Storage
In either job mode, when printing a document, the print data is transferred from the computer to the printer then stored on the printer’s hard disk. Since copies of the document are printed using the stored da ta, printing is performed faster with less computer spooling time and less network traffic.
NOTE: To use the e-MPS system, an optional Microdrive must be
installed in the printer. For details, refer to Microdrive (Hard Disk)/ CompactFlash (Memory) Card on page 3-6.
The RAM disk may also be used in the Proof-and-Hold and Private Print modes. Refer to Using the RAM Disk on page 2-61 for details on RAM disk setup.

Job Retention

Job Retention has four modes as summarized below. These modes are selected from the printer driver through the application software:
Quick Copy Proof-and-Hold Private Print Stored Job

ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE 2-19
Using the Operation Panel

Job Storage

Job storage stores print jobs either temporarily or permanently, or in virtual mailboxes, as you click an appropriate radio button on the printer driver when printing from a computer.

Virtual Mailbox

Virtual mailbox is part of Job Storage, which stores print jobs on the Microdrive without printing. It enables you to retrieve jobs later from the operation panel.
Each mailbox may be used by an individual who desires to share the printer in this mode. By default, each mailbox is numbered from ‘Tray 001,’ ‘Tray 002,’... etc. To ‘post’ a job in one of these mailboxes, you assign a numbered or named mailbox on the printer driver when printing.
To retrieve the stored job for printing, refer to Retrieving Jobs fro m Virtual Mailbox (VMB) on page 2-24.
NOTE: The virtual mailbox can be used in PCL 6 emulation only.

Using Quick Copy

Printing Additional Copies using Quick Copy

This mode enables you to print the requested number of copies of a job, simultaneously storing the job on the Microdrive. When additional copies are required, you can reprint the required number of copies from the printer operation panel.
The default number of print jobs that can be stored on the Microdrive is 32. This value can be increased to up to 50 from the e-MPS Configuration menu. For details, refer to Changing the Maximum Number o f Quick Copy/ Proof-and-Hold Jobs on page 2-26. When the number of jobs reaches the limit, the oldest job will be overwritten by the new one. When the printer is turned off, all stored jobs will be deleted.

When you print multiple copies, this mode first prints one copy so that you can proof it before continuing to print the remaining copi es. Since you can proof the printouts before printing the remaining copies, wastage of paper can be reduced.
>Report Copies 001
>Report Delete
The printer prints one copy and, at the same time, saves the print job on the Microdrive/RAM disk. You can also change the number of copies when resuming printing from the operation panel.
When the printer is turned off, all stored jobs will be deleted.

Printing a Private Print/Stored Job

Printing Remaining Copies of a Proof and Hold Job
Printing a Proof-and-Hold job on the operation panel is similar to prin ting a quick copy job. Refer to Printing Additional Copies using Quick Copy on

In private printing, you can specify that a job is not printed until you release the job from the operation panel. When sending the job from the application software, specify a 4-digit access code in the printer drive r. The job is released for printing by entering the access code on the operation panel ensuring confidentiality of the print job.
In the stored job mode, access codes are not mandatory, but can be set on the printer driver if printing with PIN security is required. Then, the access code must be entered on the operation panel to print a stored job. Print data will be stored in the Microdrive after printing.

Using the Operation Panel

Using the RAM Disk

The RAM disk is a memory space shared within the printer memory that can temporarily store print jobs. The stored print job can then be used to print multiple copies of the job reducing the total amount of time required to print the whole job. It acts similar to the Microdrive except that the data is effective only when the printer is powered up.
To use the RAM disk, activate and enter the desired size of the RAM disk in the manner described below. The maximum RAM disk size can be calculated as follows:
Maximum RAM disk size = Total printer memory -36MB For example, if the total memory installed in your printer is 192MB, you can
set 156MB of RAM disk. If you attempt to set the RAM disk size beyond this restriction, the printer automatically rounds it down so that the size is always 36MB less than the total printer memory. Once the RAM disk size is set, the printer must be reset.
To activate RAM disk in the printer's memory, first you must set the RAM disk mode to On and set the desired data size for the RAM disk as described in the following section. This allows you to perform the following operations on the RAM disk.

NOTE: The RAM disk can not be used when an Microdrive is installed.
The RAM disk stores data only temporarily. When the printer is reset or turned off, the stored data will be erased. The RAM disk is allocated within the printer's memory available to users. If the size of the RAM disk is set too large, the printing speed may decrease or the memory may become insufficient.

Paper Handling

MP Tray Mode

This section explains how to change mod e for the MP tray, the pap er size and type for each paper source, and how to select the paper source and paper destinations.
The MP tray can be used in either of two modes — Cassette or First. The MP tray feed paper differently depending on the mode:
Cassette Mode (default)
The MP tray acts in the same manner as other paper sources. The printer can feed paper from any paper source you command on the printer driver . The cassette mo de provides a faster printing speed than the first mode.
•First Mode
The MP tray automatically feeds paper placed on the MP tray overriding another paper source that is selected on the pr int er driver. After all sheets in the MP tray have been used up (approximately 100 sheets), paper will be fed from the paper source originally selected. This mode is convenient to feed paper of special size or type without reloading the current paper source. However, the MP tray must be kept empty if you desire to feed paper from the intended paper source.
