Many envelopes have a diagonal grain orientation (See Paper Grain on page 2-3). This orientation is more likely to wrinkle and crease on its way through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes for use with the printer, test a sample to verify the envelope's suitability. Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive. Avoid long printing runs consisting of envelopes only. Extensive envelope printing can cause premature printer wear. To avoid jamming due to curled envelopes, do not leave more than approximately 10 printed envelopes stacked in the paper trays during multiple envelope printing. Colored Paper Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper, listed in 1.2Paper Specifications on page 2-1. In addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to 200 °C or 392 °F). Preprinted Paper Preprinted paper should have a bond paper base. The preprinted ink must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process, and must not be affected by silicone oil. Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as the type of paper commonly used for calendars. Recycled Paper Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the white bond paper (see 1.2Paper Specifications on page 21) except whiteness. NOTE Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the printer and check that the print quality is satisfactory. Chapter 2 Handling Paper 3. Paper Type The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting for the type of paper being used. Setting the paper type for the paper source from the printer's operator panel will cause the printer to automatically select the paper source and print in the mode best suited to that type of paper. A different paper type setting can be made for each paper source including the MP tray. Not only can preset paper types be selected, but it is also possible for you to define and select customized paper types. See Customizing Paper Type on page 3-46. The following types of paper can be set.

Handling Paper

2-5

Many envelopes have a diagonal grain orientation (See

Paper

Grain on page 2-3

). This orientation is more likely to wrinkle

and crease on its way through the printer. Before purchasing

envelopes for use with the printer, test a sample to verify the

envelope’s suitability.

Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhe-

sive.

Avoid long printing runs consisting of envelopes only. Exten-

sive envelope printing can cause premature printer wear. To

avoid jamming due to curled envelopes, do not leave more

than approximately 10 printed envelopes stacked in the pa-

per trays during multiple envelope printing.

Colored Paper

Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white

bond paper, listed in

1.2Paper Specifications on page 2-1

. In

addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to with-

stand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to 200

°C or 392 °F).

Preprinted Paper

Preprinted paper should have a bond paper base. The pre-

printed ink must be able to withstand the heat of fusing dur-

ing the printing process, and must not be affected by silicone

oil.

Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as

the type of paper commonly used for calendars.

Recycled Paper

Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as

the white bond paper (see

1.2Paper Specifications on page 2-

) except whiteness.

Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the print-

er and check that the print quality is satisfactory.

The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting

for the type of paper being used.

Setting the paper type for the paper source from the printer’s

operator panel will cause the printer to automatically select

the paper source and print in the mode best suited to that type

of paper.

A different paper type setting can be made for each paper

source including the MP tray. Not only can preset paper types

be selected, but it is also possible for you to define and select

customized paper types. See

Customizing Paper Type on

page 3-46
