Handling Paper

General Guidelines

Paper Availability

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.

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/m

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°.

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/m

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

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.

Handling Paper

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

Special Paper

Handling 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 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.

Transparency

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.

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.

Top sheet (White bond paper) Adhesive

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/m

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.

(16 to 21 lb/ream). Envelopes must be manually fed.

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

Media Type

Handling Paper

2-22 ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE

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 data, printing is performed faster with less computer spooling time and less network traffic.

NOTE: To use the e-MPS system, an optional hard disk must be installed

in the printer. For details, refer to Options on page 4-1. As an alternative to a hard disk, the RAM disk may be used in the Proof-and-Hold and Private Print modes. To activate the RAM disk in the printer, refer to Operating the RAM Disk on page 2-70.

Job Retention

Job Retention has four modes as summarized below. These modes are selected when you choose on the printer driver through the application software:

Primary function To later print

Depends on the hard

disk capacity

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 hard disk 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 from Virtual Mailbox (VMB) on page 2-29.

NOTE: The virtual mailbox can be used in PCL 6 emulation only.

2-24 ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE

Using Quick Copy

Printing Additional Copies using Quick Copy

Using the Operation Panel

This mode enables you to print the requested number of copies of a job, simultaneously storing the job on the hard disk. 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 hard disk is 32. This value can be increased to up to 50 from the e-MPS Configuration menu. For details, refer to Changing e-MPS Configuration on page 2-31. 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.

To print additional copies of a job stored in the printer:

Press [MENU].

Deleting a Quick Copy Job

Press [OK] to finalize the copy count. The printer prints the specified number of copies for the job.

All quick copy jobs are automatically deleted when the printer is turned off. If you desire to explicitly delete a stored quick copy job, proceed as follows:

Follow steps 1 through 8 in the above section to display the title of the job

to be deleted.

When the title of the job to be deleted is

displayed, e.g. Report, below, press [OK]. The cursor below the copy count starts to blink.

Press V repeatedly until Delete appears

below the title.

Press [OK]. Processing appears and the stored quick copy job is

deleted.

Using Proof-and-Hold

>Report Copies 001

>Report Delete _

When you print multiple copies, this mode first prints one copy so that you can proof it before continuing to print the remaining copies. Since you can proof the printouts before printing the remaining copies, wastage of paper can be reduced.

The printer prints one copy and, at the same time, saves the print job on the hard 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 Remaining Copies of a Proof and Hold Job

Printing a Proof-and-Hold job on the operation panel is similar to printing a quick copy job. To print remaining copies of a job held in the printer:

Printing a Private Print/Stored Job

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, you can specify a 4-digit access code in the printer driver. The job is released for printing by entering the access code on the operation panel. Thus, this function ensures confidentiality of the print job.

In the job retention mode, access codes are not mandatory, but can be set on the printer driver if printing with the 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 hard disk/RAM disk after printing.

Data can be written to a memory card until no space is left for storing. When writing to a memory card, a name is assigned to the file automatically. You can use the procedure explained later in this section to print a list of data names for confirmation.

To write data to a memory card, proceed as follows.

First check that the memory card is properly formatted. Otherwise, the >Write Data message to be explained below will not be shown on the message display.

If the memory card inserted in the memory card slot is not formatted, the

>Format will automatically appear on the display. Refer to Formatting on page 2-66.

>Write Data ?

The file is written onto the memory card given a destination name (also referred to as a partition name) which the printer automatically assigns one after another as follows:

DataS001 (first data), DataS002 (second data), DataS003 (third data)...

In the example above, if the file TEST.TXT is the first data to be written onto the memory card, the destination name will be DataS001.

As the printer receives data, the message display changes to Processing, then when the end of the data is received, the message display changes to Waiting.

Check that the message display has changed to Waiting, then press

[GO]. This writes the file to the memory card and instructs the printer to

automatically print out a memory card write information page as shown below.

PARTITION LIST

FS-9530DN Page Printer

The operations of the option hard disk are the same as those of the memory card. Refer to the relevant sections in Using the CompactFlash Card on page 2-62.

It also prints out the Directory Status List to confirm the directory or data that is written in PJL or KPDL (PostScript).

Operating the RAM Disk

The RAM disk is a memory space shared within the printer memory that can temporarily store print jobs. The RAM disk can be used only for electronic sorting. 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 similarly to the hard disk except that the data is effective only when the printer is powered up.

To set up the RAM disk, the option hard disk must not be installed.

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 size = Total printer memory minus 36 MB

2-70 ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE

For example, if the total memory installed in your printer (FS-9130DN) is 64 MB (Default), you can set 28 MB 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 36 MB 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 use the printer’s menu selection system. The printer’s menu selection system allows you to perform the following operations on the RAM disk.

• Setting RAM Disk Size

• Reading Data

• Writing Data

• Deleting Data

• Printing of List of Partitions

By default, the RAM disk is not activated (Off). To confirm the RAM disk size or activate the RAM disk, proceed as follows:
