Paper Recommendations Paper Recommendations This section describes loading and storing paper, details of each type of paper, and the printable area. Configure the settings depending on the type of paper you are using. Important ❒ Print quality cannot always be guaranteed for all types of paper that are sold at stores. Loading Paper Important ❒ Do not use ink-jet printer paper because it may stick to the fusing unit and cause a paper misfed. ❒ Do not reuse paper that has already been printed onto by other printers. 5 ❖ Set paper roll • Use a paper roll that has a black core. • If humidity is high, and the paper roll has expanded due to moisture, be sure to cut off approximately 1000 mm (40"), before making printing. • When a paper roll of 90 g/m2 (24 lb.) or 110 g/m2 (29.3 lb.) paper is used and there is little paper left on the roll, image may be faint near the leading and / or trailing edge, or an image may be doubled. To prevent this, set 3 - 5 mm (0.11" - 0.19") margins from the leading and trailing edges. ❖ Set paper as follows: • Tray 3: print side facing down • Bypass Tray: print side facing up Storing Paper Take care when storing paper. Improperly stored paper might result in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommendations are as follows: • Avoid storing paper in humid areas. • Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight. • Store on a flat surface. • Keep paper in the package in which the paper came. 67
