When using these paper and media, choose those 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. 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. 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 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 Burrs Burrs 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. Appendix-17

Appendix-17

When using these paper and media, choose those 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.

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.
