Weight Criteria Thickness Dimensional accuracy Squareness of corners Moisture content Pulp content Specifications Cassettes: 60 to 220 g/m2 (for the 30/30 ppm or 35/35ppm) 60 to 256 g/m2 (for the 45/45 ppm or 55/50ppm) Multi purpose tray: 60 to 300 g/m2 0.086 to 0.110 mm ±0.7 mm 90° ±0.2° 4 to 6% 80% or more NOTE: Some recycled paper does not meet requirements for use with this machine as listed in the Basic Paper Specifications shown below, such as moisture or pulp content. For this reason, we recommend purchasing a small amount of recycled paper as a sample for testing prior to use. Choose recycled paper that gives the best printing results and contains low levels of paper dust. We are not responsible for the problems occurred from the use of paper that does not conform to our specifications. Choosing the Appropriate Paper This section describes guidelines for choosing paper. Condition Avoid using paper with bent corners or that is curled, dirty, or torn. Do not use paper that has a rough surface or paper fiber lint, or that is especially delicate. Use of paper in any of these conditions will not only deliver poor copies but may also cause jams and shorten the useful life of the machine. Choose paper with a smooth and even surface; however, avoid coated paper or paper with a treated surface as it may damage the drum or fusing unit. Ingredients Do not use paper such as paper that has been coated or surface-treated or paper that contains plastic or carbon. Those types of paper may produce harmful fumes from the heat of printing and may damage the drum. Be sure to use the standard paper that contains at least 80% pulp, i.e., not more than 20% of the total paper content consists of cotton or other fibers. Supported Paper Sizes Paper of the following sizes is supported by the machine. Appendix-14
