Appendix Special Paper This section describes copying onto special paper and copy media. The following paper and media can be used. • Transparencies • Preprinted paper • Bond paper • Recycled paper • Thin paper (from 45 g/m² to less than 60 g/m²) • Letterhead • Colored paper • Prepunched paper • Envelopes • Postcards • Thick paper (from 106 g/m² to 200 g/m² or less) • 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 MP tray for transparencies, thin or thick paper, envelopes, and postcards. Choosing Special Paper Although special paper that meets the following requirements can be used with the copier, copy 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 copying problems. Before purchasing special paper in volume, try testing a sample to ensure the copy quality is satisfactory. General precautions when copying onto special paper are given below. Note that we are not responsible for any harm to the user or damage to the copier caused by moisture or specifications of special paper. Transparencies Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of copying. We recommend the following types. 3M PP2500 (available in Letter and A4 sizes) Transparencies must meet the following conditions. Criteria Heat resistance Thickness Material Dimensional accuracy Squareness of corners Specifications Must withstand at least 190 °C. 0.100 to 0.110 mm Polyester ±0.7 mm 90° ±0.2° To avoid problems, use the MP tray for transparencies and load transparencies with the long side facing the copier. If transparencies jam frequently, try pulling the leading edge of sheets gently as they are ejected. Appendix-6
