    Basic Paper Specifications
    This machine is designed to print on standard copy paper as used in regular (dry) copiers and page printers 
    such as laser printers. It also supports a variety of other types of paper that conform to the specifications given 
    in this appendix. 
    Be careful when choosing paper. Paper unsuitable for the machine may cause jams or may be wrinkled. 
    Supported Paper 
    Use standard copy paper for regular copiers or laser printers. The printing quality will be affected by the quality 
    of paper. Poor quality paper may result in unsatisfactory output.
    Basic Paper Specifications 
    The following table lists the specifications of paper that is supported with this machine. Refer to the subsequent 
    sections for further details.
    NOTE: Some recycled paper does not meet requirements for use with this machine as listed in the Basic 
    Paper Specifications shown below, such as moisture or pulp content. For this reason, we recommend 
    purchasing a small amount of recycled paper as a sample for testing prior to use. Choose recycled paper that 
    gives the best printing results and contains low levels of paper dust.

    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 delicate. 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 machine. Choose paper with a smooth and even 
    surface; however, avoid coated paper or paper with a treated surface as it may damage the drum or fusing unit.
    Ingredient 
    Do not use paper such as paper that has been coated or surface-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°.

    							Appendix-13
    Smoothness
    The paper surface should be smooth, but it must be uncoated. With paper that is too smooth and slippery, 
    several sheets may accidentally be supplied at once, causing jams. 
    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 excessive 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.
    Thickness
    Avoid using paper that is too thick or thin. Signs that paper 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 changeability of the paper, and how the toner adheres.
    Paper moisture content varies depending on the relative humidity 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 content, 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 sufficient 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 exposed to heat, sunlight, or dampness.

    							Appendix-14 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 paper 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.
    Packaging: Choose paper that is properly packaged and stacked 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 these 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.
    • Transparencies
    • Preprinted paper
    • Bond paper
    • Recycled paper
    • Thin paper (from 60 g/m
    2 to 64 g/m2 or less)
    • Letterhead
    • Colored paper
    • Prepunched paper
    • Envelopes
    • Cardstocks (Hagaki)
    • Thick paper (from 106 g/m
    2 to 200 g/m2 or less)
    • Labels
    • Coated paper
    • High-quality paper
    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 transparencies, thick paper, envelopes, cardstocks, and label paper.

    							Appendix-15
    Choosing Special Paper
    Although special paper that meets the following requirements 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 damage to the machine caused by moisture 
    or specifications of special paper. 
    Select a cassette or multi purpose tray for special paper. 
    Transparencies
    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 frequently at output, try pulling the leading edge of sheets gently as they are ejected. 
    Hagaki
    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 become wrinkled. Thus, keep the package sealed until 
    you are ready to use them. Criteria Specifications

    							Appendix-16 Keep the following points in mind. 
    Do not use envelopes with exposed adhesive. In addition, do not use the type 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 special 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 envelopes, do not allow more than ten envelopes remain in 
    the output tray at once.
    Thick Paper
    Before loading thick paper in the multi purpose tray, fan it and align the edges. Some thick paper may still have 
    rough edges developed by a paper cutter on the back side. Remove 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 smoothed, 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 adhesive 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 liable 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.
