3 Handling Paper This chapter contains explanations on the following topics: General Guidelines Selecting the Right Paper Paper Type 3-12 Loading Paper 3-13...
Handling Paper General Guidelines The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper (the type used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below. Note The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.
Handling Paper Minimum and Maximum Paper Sizes The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as follows. For non standard paper such as transparency, labels, vellum, cardstock, envelope, and coated, the MP (Multi-Purpose) tray must be used. Paper Cassette MP Tray Minimum Minimum Paper Size...
Handling Paper Selecting the Right Paper This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper. Condition Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn, embossed, or contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds. Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing and paper jams, and can shorten the life of the machine.
Handling Paper Smoothness The paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or sandy surface can cause voids in the printed output. Paper that is too smooth can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.) Basis Weight Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter...
Handling Paper The moisture content of the paper varies with the relative humidity in the room. When the relative humidity is high and the paper absorbs moisture, the paper edges expand, becoming wavy in appearance. When the relative humidity is low and the paper loses moisture, the edges shrink and tighten, and print contrast may suffer.
Handling Paper Special Paper The following types of special paper can be used: Paper Type to be Used Paper Type to be Selected Thin paper (60 to 64 g/m²) VELLUM Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²) THICK Colored paper COLOR Recycled paper RECYCLED Overhead projector transparencies...
Page 60
Handling Paper To prevent printing problems, feed transparencies into the printer one sheet at a time from the MP tray. Always load the transparencies vertically (with the long edge towards the printer). If the transparencies have rough edges on the back, it may cause a paper jam.
Page 61
Handling Paper Postcards Fan the stack of postcards and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Make sure the postcards you are going to set are not curled. Feeding curled postcards may cause paper jams. Some postcards have rough edges on the back (those are created when Rough the paper is cut).
Handling Paper When you load envelopes or cardstock in the MP tray Load envelope with the print side facing up. Close the flap. Cardstock Open the flap. (Hagaki) Return postcard Landscape Portrait (Oufuku Hagaki) form form envelopes envelopes Note Use unfolded return postcard (Oufuku Hagaki). Thick Paper Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them.
Handling Paper Colored Paper Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper, refer to Paper Specifications on page 3-2. 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).
Handling Paper 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 operation panel will cause the printer to automatically select the paper source and print in the mode best suited to that type of paper.
Handling Paper Loading Paper The following explains the procedure for loading paper in the cassette and the MP tray. Loading Paper into the Cassette Fan the media (paper), then tap it on a level surface to avoid media jams or skewed printing. Pull the paper cassette all the way out of the printer.
Page 66
Handling Paper While pressing the release lever, slide the paper stopper to the desired paper size. Release Lever Paper Stopper Standard paper sizes are marked on the inside of the paper cassette. Slide the paper into the paper cassette. Load Limit Note Do not load more paper than will fit under the load limits on the paper guides.
Page 67
Handling Paper Loading Paper into the MP (Multi-Purpose) Tray Fan the media (paper/transparencies), then tap it on a level surface to avoid media jams or skewed printing. Press the center of the MP tray, and pull it towards you until it stops. MP Tray Pull the subtray toward you until it stops, making sure there are no gaps.
Handling Paper Align the paper with the paper guides and insert as far as it will go. Note Do not load more paper than will fit under the load limits on the inside of the MP tray. When printing on transparencies, feed the sheets into the printer one at a time.

Page 118
Using the Operation Panel Gateway (Gateway setting) Gateway generally refers to a protocol conversion device used to allow networks with differing protocol systems to interconnect. For example, a "Gateway" device is required to connect a different closed network (using its own protocols) to the open Internet (using TCP/IP). By installing a gateway, the communications protocols and data display modes on different networks can be made compatible.
Page 119
Using the Operation Panel TCP/IP (IPv6) (IPv6 settings) This selects the settings for TCP/IP (IPv6). TCP/IP (IPv6) is based on the current Internet protocol, TCP/IP (IPv4). IPv6 is the next-generation Internet protocol and expands the available address space, which resolves the problem of the lack of addresses under IPv4, while also introducing other improvements such as additional security functionality and the capacity to prioritize data transmission.
