• Store paper in a cool, well-ventilated place. • Store paper flat and unopened in the package. Once the package is opened, reseal it if the paper is not to be used for a while. • Store paper sealed in the original package and box. Put a pallet under the carton to keep it raised above the floor. Especially during rainy seasons keep the paper a sufficient distance away from wooden or concrete floors. • Before using paper that has been stored, keep it at the proper moisture level for at least 48 hours. • Do not store paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight, or dampness. Other Paper Specifications Porosity: The density of the paper fibers Stiffness: Paper must be stiff enough or it may buckle in the machine, causing jams. Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl after the package is opened. When paper passes through the fixing unit, it curls upward slightly. To deliver flat printouts, load the paper so that the curl faces towards the bottom of the paper tray. Static electricity: During printing, paper is electrostatically charged so that the toner adheres. Choose paper that can be discharged quickly so that copies do not cling together. Whiteness: Paper whiteness affects print contrast. Use whiter paper for sharper, brighter copies. Quality: Machine problems may occur if sheet sizes are not uniform or if corners are not square, edges are rough, sheets are uncut, or edges or corners are crushed. In order to prevent these problems, be especially careful when you cut the paper yourself. Packaging: Choose paper that is properly packaged and stacked in boxes. Ideally, the packaging itself should have been treated with a coating to inhibit moisture. Specially treated paper: We do not recommend printing onto the following types of paper, even if it conforms to the basic specifications. When you use these kinds of paper, purchase a small amount first as a sample to test. • Glossy paper • Watermarked paper • Paper with an uneven surface • Perforated paper Special Paper This section describes printing onto special paper and print media. The following paper and media can be used. • Transparencies • Preprinted paper • Bond paper • Recycled paper • Thin paper (from 60 g/m2 to 64 g/m2 or less) Appendix-14 OPERATION GUIDE

OPERATION GUIDE

•

Store paper in a cool, well-ventilated place.

•

Store paper flat and unopened in the package. Once the package is opened, reseal it if the paper is not to

be used for a while.

•

Store paper sealed in the original package and box. Put a pallet under the carton to keep it raised above the

floor. Especially during rainy seasons keep the paper a sufficient distance away from wooden or concrete

floors.

•

Before using paper that has been stored, keep it at the proper moisture level for at least 48 hours.

•

Do not store paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight, or dampness.

Other Paper Specifications

Porosity:

The density of the paper fibers

Stiffness:

Paper must be stiff enough or it may buckle in the machine, causing jams.

Curl:

Most paper naturally tends to curl after the package is opened. When paper passes through the fixing unit,

it curls upward slightly. To deliver flat printouts, load the paper so that the curl faces towards the bottom of the

paper tray.

Static electricity:

During printing, paper is electrostatically charged so that the toner adheres. Choose paper

that can be discharged quickly so that copies do not cling together.

Whiteness:

Paper whiteness affects print contrast. Use whiter paper for sharper, brighter copies.

Quality:

Machine problems may occur if sheet sizes are not uniform or if corners are not square, edges are

rough, sheets are uncut, or edges or corners are crushed. In order to prevent these problems, be especially

careful when you cut the paper yourself.

Packaging:

Choose paper that is properly packaged and stacked in boxes. Ideally, the packaging itself should

have been treated with a coating to inhibit moisture.



Specially treated paper:

We do not recommend printing onto the following types of paper, even if it conforms

to the basic specifications. When you use these kinds of paper, purchase a small amount first as a sample to

test.

•

Glossy paper

•

Watermarked paper

•

Paper with an uneven surface

•

Perforated paper

Special Paper

This section describes printing onto special paper and print media.

The following paper and media can be used.

•

Transparencies

•

Preprinted paper

•

Bond paper

•

Recycled paper

•

Thin paper (from 60 g/m

to 64 g/m

or less)
