Appendix > Paper 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°. Multi Purpose Tray Cassette or Multi Purpose Tray B6 (186 × 128 mm) A4 (297 × 210 mm) Envelope #10 (Commercial #10) (4-1/8 × 9-1/2") A5 (210 × 148 mm) Envelope #9 (Commercial #9) (3-7/8 × 8-7/8") A6 (148 × 105 mm)* Envelope #6 (Commercial #6 3/4) (3-5/8 × 6-1/2") B5 (257 × 182 mm) Envelope Monarch (3-7/8 × 7-1/2") Folio (210 × 330 mm) Envelope DL (110 × 220 mm) Letter Hagaki (100 × 148mm) Legal Oufukuhagaki (148 × 200 mm) Statement Youkei 4 (105 × 235 mm) Executive (7-1/4 × 10-1/2") Youkei 2 (114 × 162 mm) Oficio II 16K (273 × 197 mm) ISO B5 (176 × 250 mm) Envelope C5 (162 × 229mm) Size Entry (70 × 148 to 216 × 352 mm) * Except for the optional paper feeder. 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. 11-12
