Handling Paper Selecting the Right Paper This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper. Condition Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn, embossed, or contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds. Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing and paper jams, and can shorten the life of the machine. In particular, avoid using paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. Paper should have as smooth and even a surface as possible. Composition Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and contains plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing can cause such paper to give off harmful fumes. Bond paper should contain at least 80% pulp. Not more than 20% of the total paper content should consist of cotton or other fibers. Paper Sizes Cassettes and the MP Tray are available for the paper sizes listed in the table below. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7mm for the length and width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.

ADVANCED OPERATION GUIDE

Selecting the Right Paper

This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper.

Condition

Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn, embossed,

or contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds.

Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing and paper

jams, and can shorten the life of the machine. In particular, avoid using

paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. Paper should have

as smooth and even a surface as possible.

Composition

Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and contains

plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing can cause such paper to give off

harmful fumes.

Bond paper should contain at least 80% pulp. Not more than 20% of the

total paper content should consist of cotton or other fibers.

Paper Sizes

Cassettes

and the

MP Tray

are available for the paper sizes listed in the

table below. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7mm for the length and
