Special Paper Special Paper This section explains printing on special paper. The page printer can use the following types of special paper. In this case, set the media type according to the table below. Paper type Colored paper Preprinted paper Overhead projector transparencies Postcards Envelopes Labels Table 2-4 Media type Color Preprinted Transparency Cardstock Envelope Labels When using the above types of paper, be sure to use products that are specified for use with photocopiers and/or page printers. Feed paper other than colored paper or pre-printed paper from the MP (multi-purpose) tray. Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers (heat-fusing type). Label paper and envelopes should not be placed in the cassette; they must be fed manually and delivered in the face up stack. 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, etc., given off in printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator. Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on the printer and check that print quality is satisfactory. Note Specifications for each type of special paper are given below. Transparency (Overhead Projection Film) Transparency must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. It should satisfy the conditions given in the table below. Item Tolerance of heat Thickness Material Dimensional accuracy Squareness of corners Table 2-5 Specification Must tolerate at least 190 °C (374 °F) 0.100 to 0.110 mm (3.9 to 4.3 mils) Polyester ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inch) 90° ± 0.2° To avoid trouble, transparency must be delivered face-up. If transparency jams frequently, pull the top of the sheet very gently as it leaves the printer. 2-7
