1. Introduction

Types of paper to avoid

1. Extremely smooth or shiny paper or paper that is highly textured

2. Letterhead imprinted with low temperature or thermography. These materials may transfer onto the fusing roller

and cause damage. Any pre-printed paper should use inks compatible with 200 °C (392 °F) for 0.1 second.

3. Damaged or wrinkled paper, or paper with irregularities such as tabs, staples, etc.

4. Multipart forms or carbonless paper

5. Paper with a 25% or more cotton and/or fiber content

6. Ink jet paper (It may transfer onto the fuser roller and cause damage.)

* We do not recommend the use of 1 05 g/m

paper feed problems may be experienced.

(28 lbs.) paper in areas of high or low humidity and temperature since

Device Cables (Not included with the Printer)

Cables Description

All about media

• The recommended media is as follows: Letter/Legal: Hammermill LASERPRINT 90 g/m A4: NEUSIEDLER COLOR COPY 90 g/m

For the finest resolution and the brightest, most consistent colours, use a high grade laser paper. The weight of the paper should be 60-105 g/m

(16-28 lbs.) paper in the media cas settes; and 75-120 g/m2 (20-

32 lbs.) in multi-purpose tray.

Transparency: 3M CG3700 and 3M CG3710

(24 lbs.)

FS-5900C Service Manual

• Labels Use only full 8.5" × 11" or A4 label sheets rath er tha n die-cu t label sheets t hrough t he mult i-purp ose tray. Die-cut labels may peel off from their backing and stick inside the imaging unit or fuser.

• Envelopes This printer prints black text only using the following high quality #10 laser envelopes with diagonal steams. Do not insert more than one envelope at a time.

• A thin, sharply creased leading edge.

• Paper weight of 90 g /m

(24 lbs.)

• Flat and free of curls, wrinkles, nicks, etc.

• Make sure that the media cassettes are free of dust. Dust an d dirt in a media cassette can be transferred to the paper or transparency, resulting in poor print quality.

• Handle paper and transparencies with both hands at the edges to avoid creases and fingerprints, which can result in poor print quality.

• Store paper and transparencies in the original dust-free package.

• To prevent transparencies or paper from sticking together, fan them before loading into the appropriate media cassette.

• If the optional paper feeder is used: A media cassette can be installed in any of the three tray slots; however, the transparency tray should only be inserted in the upper and middle tray slots.

Margins and Print Area

When the printer places an image on media, the image (print area) is a bit smaller than the media size. Page margins adjustment m ay be needed in an application software to m atch the print area.

The following table lists the page sizes, the maximum print areas, and the margins for the media sizes supported in KPDL emulation, 600dpi.
