The guidelines given below will increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free printing and reducing wear - Kyocera FS 1900 | Operation Guide - Page 123
the Right Paper Laser printing is a process involving laser light, electrostatic discharge, toner, and heat. In addition, as the paper passes through the printer it undergoes considerable sliding, bending, and twisting motions. A highquality printing paper matching the printer's requirements - Kyocera FS 1900 | Operation Guide - Page 124
too light or too heavy can cause misfeeding, jams, and premature wear of the printer. Uneven paper weight can cause multiple feeds, print defects, poor toner fusing, blurring, and other print quality problems. The proper weight is 60 to 105 g/m² for the paper cassette, and 60 to 200 g/m² for the MP - Kyocera FS 1900 | Operation Guide - Page 125
135 148 157 163 176 199 Thickness (Caliper) Thick paper is referred to as high-caliper paper and thin paper as lowcaliper paper.
