Choosing the Appropriate Paper
This section describes guidelines for choosing paper. 
Condition 
Avoid using paper with bent corners or that  is curled, dirty, or torn. Do not use paper that has a rough surface or paper 
fiber lint, or that is especially delicat e. Use of paper in any of these conditions will not only  deliver poor copies but may 
also cause jams and shorten the useful life of the mach ine. Choose paper with a smooth and even surface; however, 
avoid coated paper or paper with a treated surfac e as it may damage the drum or fusing unit.
Ingredient 
Do not use paper such as paper that has been coated or su rface-treated or paper that contains plastic or carbon. 
These paper may produce harmful fumes from the heat of printing and may damage the drum.
Be sure to use the standard paper that  contains at least 80% pulp, i.e., not more than 20% of the total paper content 
consists of cotton or other fibers.
Supported Paper Sizes 
Paper of the following sizes is supported by the machine. 
Measurements in the table take into account a ±0.7 mm dimensional accuracy for length and width. Corner angles 
must be 90° ± 0.2°. 
Smoothness
The paper surface should be smooth, but it must be uncoat ed. With paper that is too smooth and slippery, several 
sheets may accidentally be supplied at once, causing jams.  Multi Purpose Tray

							Appendix-13
Basis Weight
In countries that use the metric system, basis weight is the weight in grams of one sheet of paper one square meter 
in area. In the United States, basis weight is the weight  in pounds of one ream (500 sheets) of paper cut to the 
standard size (or trade size) for a specific grade of paper . Paper that is too heavy or too light may be supplied 
incorrectly or cause paper jams, which may cause excess ive wear of the machine. Mixed paper weight (i.e., 
thickness) may cause several sheets to be supplied at once  accidentally and may also cause blurring or other printing 
problems if the toner fails to adhere correctly.
The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 120 g/m
2 for the cassettes and between 60 and 220 g/m2 for the 
multi purpose tray. 
Thickness
Avoid using paper that is too thick or thin. Signs that pape r may be thin include frequent problems with paper jams or 
with several sheets being supplied at once. Paper jams may also indicate that the paper is too thick. The proper 
thickness is between 0.086 and 0.110 mm. 
Moisture Content
Paper moisture content is the ratio of moisture to dryness expressed as a percentage. Moisture affects how the paper 
is supplied, the electrostatic changeabilit y of the paper, and how the toner adheres.
Paper moisture content varies depending on the relative humi dity in the room. High relative humidity causes paper to 
become damp, making the edges expand so it appears wavy . Low relative humidity causes paper to lose moisture, 
making the edges tighten and weakening print contrast.
Wavy or tight edges may cause the paper to slip when it is  supplied. Try to keep the moisture content between 4 to 
6%. 
To maintain the right level of moisture conten t, bear in mind the following considerations.
• Store paper in a cool, well-ventilated place. 
• Store paper flat and unopened in the package. Once the package is opened, reseal it if the paper is not to be  used for a while.
• Store paper sealed in the original package and box. Put a pallet under the carton to keep it raised above the  floor. Especially during rainy seasons keep the paper a su fficient distance away from wooden or concrete floors.
• Before using paper that has been stored, keep it at the proper moisture level for at least 48 hours.
• Do not store paper where it is expo sed to heat, sunlight, or dampness.
Other Paper Specifications
Porosity:  The density of the paper fibers
Stiffness:  Paper must be stiff enough or it may buckle in the machine, causing jams.
Curl:  Most paper naturally tends to curl after the package is  opened. When paper passes through the fixing unit, it 
curls upward slightly. To deliver flat printouts, load the pa per so that the curl faces towards the bottom of the paper 
tray. 
Static electricity:  During printing, paper is electrostatically charged  so that the toner adheres. Choose paper that can 
be discharged quickly so that copies do not cling together.
Whiteness:  Paper whiteness affects print contrast. Use  whiter paper for sharper, brighter copies.
Quality:  Machine problems may occur if sheet sizes are not uniform or if corners are not square, edges are rough, 
sheets are uncut, or edges or corners are crushed. In order to prevent these problems, be especially careful when 
you cut the paper yourself.

							Appendix-14
Packaging: Choose paper that is properly packaged and sta cked in boxes. Ideally, the packaging itself should have 
been treated with a coating to inhibit moisture.
Specially treated paper:  We do not recommend printing onto the following types of paper, even if it conforms to the 
basic specifications. When you use t hese kinds of paper, purchase a small amount first as a sample to test.
• Glossy paper
• Watermarked paper
• Paper with an uneven surface
• Perforated paper
Special Paper
This section describes printing onto special paper and print media. 
The following paper and media can be used.
• Transparency (OHP film) 
• Rough
• Vellum
• Labels
• Recycled
•Preprinted
•Bond
• Cardstock
• Color (Colour)
• Prepunched
• Letterhead
• Envelope
•Thick
• High Quality
• Custom 1 to 8
When using these paper and media, choose  that are designed specifically for copiers or page printers (such as laser 
printers). Use the multi purpose tray for transparenci es, thick paper, envelopes, cardstocks, and label paper.
Choosing Special Paper
Although special paper th at meets the following requirem ents can be used with the machine, print quality will vary 
considerably due to differences in the construction and quality of special paper. Thus, special paper is more likely 
than regular paper to cause printing problems. Before purchasing special paper in volume, try testing a sample to 
ensure the print quality is satisfactory.  General precautions when printing onto  special paper are given below. Note 
that we are not responsible for any harm to the user or dama ge to the machine caused by moisture or specifications 
of special paper. 
Select a cassette or multi purpose tray for special paper.

							Appendix-15
Transparency (OHP film)
Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of printing. Transparencies must meet the following conditions.
To avoid problems, use the multi purpose tray for transparencies and load transparencies with the long side facing 
the machine.
If transparencies jam frequent ly at output, try pulling the leading edge of sheets gent ly as they are ejected. 
Cardstock Before loading Hagaki into the multi purpose tray, fan them 
and align the edges. If the Hagaki paper is curled, straighten 
it before loading. Printing onto curled Hagaki may cause 
jams.
Use unfolded Oufuku Hagaki (available at post offices). 
Some Hagaki may still have rough edges developed by a 
paper cutter on the back side. Remove any such rough edges 
by placing the Hagaki on a flat surface and rubbing the edges 
gently a few times with a ruler.

Envelopes
Use the multi purpose tray for envelopes.
Due to the structure of envelopes, printing evenly over the entire surface may not be possible in some cases. Thin 
envelopes in particular may be wrinkled by the machine in some cases as  they pass through. Before purchasing 
envelopes in volume, try testing a sample to ensure the print quality.
Storing envelopes for a long period may cause them to be come wrinkled. Thus, keep the package sealed until you 
are ready to use them. 
Keep the following points in mind. 
Do not use envelopes with exposed  adhesive. In addition, do not use the ty pe of envelope in which the adhesive is 
exposed after the top layer is peeled off. Serious damage may be caused if the paper covering the adhesive comes 
off in the machine. 
Do not use envelopes with certain specia l features. For example, do not use envelopes with a grommet for winding 
a string to close the flap or envelopes with an open or film-covered window. 
If paper jams occur, load fewer envelopes at once.
To prevent paper jams when printing onto multiple envelo pes, do not allow more than ten envelopes remain in the 
top tray at once.
Thick Paper
Before loading thick paper  in the multi purpose tray, fan it and align the edges. So me thick paper may still have rough 
edges developed by a paper cutter on the back side. Remo ve any such rough edges just as with Hagaki by placing 
the paper on a flat surface and rubbing the edges gently a  few times with a ruler. Printing onto paper with rough edges 
may cause jams.
NOTE: If the paper is not supplied correctly even after it is sm oothed, load the paper in the multi purpose tray with 
the leading edge raised a few millimeters.
Label
Be sure to feed labels from the multi purpose tray.
For selecting labels, use extreme care so that the adhesiv e may not come in direct contact with any part of the 
machine and that the labels are not easily peeled from the  carrier sheet. Adhesives that stick to the drum or rollers 
and peeled labels remaining in  the machine may cause a failure.
When printing onto labels, you must be liabl e for the print quality and possible trouble.
Labels consist of three layers  as shown in the illustration. The 
adhesive layer contains materials that are easily affected by 
the force applied in the machine. The carrier sheet bears the 
top sheet until the label is used. This composition of labels 
may cause more problems.
The label surface must be covered completely with the top 
sheet. Gaps between labels may cause peeling of labels, 
resulting in a serious failure.

							Appendix-17
Some label paper has large margins on the top sheet. When using such paper, do not peel these margins from the 
carrier sheet before completing output.
Use label paper that conforms to the following specifications. 
Colored Paper
Colored paper must conform to the specifications listed on  the page 11 of the Appendix. In addition, the pigments in 
the paper must be able to withstand the heat of printing (up to 200°C or 392°F).
Preprinted Paper
Preprinted paper must conform to the specifications liste d on the page 9 of the Appendix. The colored ink must be 
able to withstand the heat of printing. It  must be resistant to silicone oil as well. Do not us e paper with a treated surface 
such as glossy paper used for calendars. 
Recycled Paper
Recycled paper must conform to the s pecifications listed on the page 11 of the Appendix; however, its whiteness may 
be considered separately. 
NOTE: Before purchasing recycled paper in volume, try testing a sample to ensure that the print quality. Item
