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....

Basis weight
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-sheet 
feeding or print quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner 
fusing.
The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 120g/m² (16 to 31.9 
lib/ream) for the cassette and between 60 and...

2-6Paper Handling
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 jams and alignment anomalies. The 
moisture content of the paper should be 4 to 6%.
To ensure correct moisture content, it is...

Special Paper
The following types of special paper can be used:
Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heat-
fusing type). When using transparencies, labels, envelopes, cardstock, 
coated, 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...

2-8Paper Handling
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 
pressure-sensitive adhesives. 
The carrier sheet (also called 
the linear or backing sheet) 
holds the labels until used. 
Due to the complexity of its 
composition, adhesive-
backed 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...

Paper Handling2-9
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
Up to 5 envelopes can be loaded at a 
time. 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...

2-10Paper Handling
Preprinted Paper
Preprinted paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond 
paper. Refer to Paper Specifications  on page2-2.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 except for...

Paper Type
The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting for the type 
of paper being used.
A different paper type setting can be made for each paper source 
including the MP tray. Not only can preset paper types be selected, but it 
is also possible for you to define and select customized paper types. 
Paper type can be changed using the printer driver and the operation 
panel. The following types of paper can be used.
