2. Printing Basic Operation Supported Paper Use paper that meets the following conditions*1: ●● Paper that meets the conditions for plain paper. ●● An ink used for a part printing is heat resistant (230°C). Note 2 ●● When specifying a printing area, please take into account the differences of printing position as followings: Print start position: ±2 mm, Paper skew: ±1 mm/100 mm, Image stretch: ±1 mm/100 mm (when paper ream weight is 70 kg) ●● This printer cannot print on an ink. Use paper that meets the following conditions*2: ●● A pigment or an ink used to color paper is heat resistant (230°C). ●● Paper that has same characteristics with light paper and used for an electronic photo printer. Paper Recommendations Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes. This section provides general advice on choice of media, and explains how to use each type. The best performance will be obtained when using standard 75 - 90 g/m2 paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended. Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing process. CAUTION ●● Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations. They should also be of the rectangular flap type, with glue that remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing used in this type of printer. Window envelopes are not suitable. ●● Labels should also be of the type recommended for use in copiers and laser printers, in which the base carrier page is entirely covered by labels. Other types of label stock may damage the printer due to the labels peeling off during the printing process. Storing Paper Store paper under the following conditions to maintain quality. ●● Inside a cabinet or other dry and dark place ●● On a flat surface ●● Temperature: 20°C ●● Humidity: 50% RH (relative humidity) Do not store in the following locations. ●● Directly on the floor ●● In direct sunlight ●● Near the inside of an exterior wall ●● On an uneven surface ●● Where static electricity may be generated ●● In places that are excessively hot or where temperature rapidly changes ●● Near a copier, air conditioner, heater, or duct Note ●● Do not unwrap the paper until you are ready to use the paper. ●● Do not leave paper unwrapped for a long period. Doing so may result in paper handling and print quality issues. ●● Depending on a media you use, usage conditions and a storing conditions, a decrease in paper quality or curling of the paper may occur. - 46 -

Use paper that meets the following conditions*
1
:
Paper that meets the conditions for plain paper.
An ink used for a part printing is heat resistant (230°C).
Note
When specifying a printing area, please take into account the differences of printing position as followings:
Print start position: ±2 mm, Paper skew: ±1 mm/100 mm, Image stretch: ±1 mm/100 mm
(when paper ream weight is 70 kg)
This printer cannot print on an ink.
Use paper that meets the following conditions*
2
:
A pigment or an ink used to color paper is heat resistant (230°C).
Paper that has same characteristics with light paper and used for an electronic photo printer.
Paper Recommendations
Your printer will handle a variety of print media,
including a range of paper weights and sizes.
This section provides general advice on choice of
media, and explains how to use each type.
The best performance will be obtained when
using standard 75 - 90 g/m

paper designed for
use in copiers and laser printers.
Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured
paper is not recommended.
Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink
must not offset when exposed to the high fuser
temperatures used in the printing process.
CAUTION
Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or
other deformations. They should also be of the
rectangular flap type, with glue that remains
intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing
used in this type of printer. Window envelopes are
not suitable.
Labels should also be of the type recommended
for use in copiers and laser printers, in which the
base carrier page is entirely covered by labels.
Other types of label stock may damage the printer
due to the labels peeling off during the printing
process.
Storing Paper
Store paper under the following conditions to
maintain quality.
Inside a cabinet or other dry and dark place
On a flat surface
Temperature: 20°C
Humidity: 50% RH (relative humidity)
Do not store in the following locations.
Directly on the floor
In direct sunlight
Near the inside of an exterior wall
On an uneven surface
Where static electricity may be generated
In places that are excessively hot or where
temperature rapidly changes
Near a copier, air conditioner, heater, or duct
Note
Do not unwrap the paper until you are ready to use the
paper.
Do not leave paper unwrapped for a long
period. Doing
so may result in paper handling and print quality issues.
Depending on a media you use, usage conditions and a
storing conditions, a decrease in paper quality or curling
of the paper may occur.
