General Guidelines
The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper, 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, troublefree 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 highquality 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 120 g/m
2
(16 to 31.9b).

Selecting the Right Paper
This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper.
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 shown
below. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7mm for the length and wid th.
The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.
MP Tray:
Envelope Monarch, Envelope #10, Envelope #9, Envelope #6,
Envelope C5, Envelope DL, Legal, Letter, Statement, Oficio II,
Executive, ISO A4, ISO A5, ISO A6, Folio, ISO B5, JIS B5, JIS B6,
Hagaki, Ofuku-Hagaki, Youkei 2, Youkei 4, 16 kai, Custom (70 × 148 to
216 × 356mm (2-13/16 × 5-13/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches))
Note If the length of custom paper is larger than 297mm (11-11/16
inches), the printer can be specified ISO A4, Officio II, Folio, and
Legal as the standard paper size.
Cassette:
Legal, Letter, Statement, Oficio II, Executive, ISO A4, ISO A5, A6 (only
for machine’s paper cassette), Folio, ISO B5, JIS B5, Envelope C5, 16
kai, Custom (Paper Cassette: 105 × 148 to 216 × 356mm (4-1/8 × 513/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches), Paper Feeder: 148 × 210 to 216 × 356mm
(5-13/16 × 8-5/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches))
Note If the length of custom paper is larger than 297mm (11-11/16
inches), the printer can be specified ISO A4, Officio II, Folio, and
Legal as the standard paper size.
Smoothness
The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough
or sandy surface can cause blank spaces in the printed output. Paper
that is too smooth can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems.
(Fogging is a gray background effect.)
