Paper Handling > Precautions of Special Paper Colored Paper Colored paper must conform to the specifications. Basic Paper Specifications that can be Used with This Machine (page 7-2) Thick Paper Before feeding thick paper, fan it and align the edges. If there is burring (a thin ridge caused by cutting the paper), place the paper on a flat surface and use a ruler to gently stroke the paper once or twice to remove the burring. Attempting to print on paper with burring may result in incorrect feeding such as skewing, double-feeding, and paper jams. The burring may also cause paper dust that will degrade print quality. Do not use paper from which burring cannot be removed. Do not use thick paper with convex or concave curling, or a wave edge. CAUTION Do not feed thick paper if you have not specified thick paper for the media type. The paper may contact the print head and damage it. Label Be sure to feed labels from the multipurpose tray. For selecting labels, use extreme care so that the adhesive may not come in direct contact with any part of the machine and that the labels are not easily peeled from the carrier sheet. Adhesives that stick to the drum or rollers and peeled labels remaining in the machine may cause a failure. When printing onto labels, you must be liable for the print quality and possible trouble. Top sheet Adhesive Carrier sheet Labels consist of three layers as shown in the illustration. The adhesive layer contains materials that are easily affected by the force applied in the machine. The carrier sheet bears the top sheet until the label is used. This composition of labels may cause more problems. The label surface must be covered completely with the top sheet. Gaps between labels may cause peeling of labels, resulting in a serious failure. Some label paper has large margins on the top sheet. When using such paper, do not peel these margins from the carrier sheet before completing output. Allowed Not allowed Top sheet Carrier sheet Use label paper that conforms to the following specifications. 7-15

Paper Handling > Precautions of Special Paper

Colored Paper

Colored paper must conform to the specifications.

Basic Paper Specifications that can be Used with This Machine

(page 7-2)

Thick Paper

Before feeding thick paper, fan it and align the edges. If there is burring (a thin ridge caused by cutting the paper), place

the paper on a flat surface and use a ruler to gently stroke the paper once or twice to remove the burring. Attempting to

print on paper with burring may result in incorrect feeding such as skewing, double-feeding, and paper jams. The burring

may also cause paper dust that will degrade print quality. Do not use paper from which burring cannot be removed.

Do not use thick paper with convex or concave curling, or a wave edge.

Label

Be sure to feed labels from the multipurpose tray.

For selecting labels, use extreme care so that the adhesive may not come in direct contact with any part of the machine

and that the labels are not easily peeled from the carrier sheet. Adhesives that stick to the drum or rollers and peeled

labels remaining in the machine may cause a failure.

When printing onto labels, you must be liable for the print quality and possible trouble.

Labels consist of three layers as shown in the illustration. The adhesive layer contains materials that are easily affected

by the force applied in the machine. The carrier sheet bears the top sheet until the label is used. This composition of

labels may cause more problems.

The label surface must be covered completely with the top sheet. Gaps between labels may cause peeling of labels,

resulting in a serious failure.

Some label paper has large margins on the top sheet. When using such paper, do not peel these margins from the

carrier sheet before completing output.

Use label paper that conforms to the following specifications.

CAUTION

Do not feed thick paper if you have not specified thick paper for the media type. The paper may contact the

print head and damage it.
