Chapter 2 Handling P aper The printer can use a variety of media in variou s sizes. However, any media you will choose to use with the printer must be in accordance w ith the guid elines and specifications in this chapter .
2.1 General 2-2 2.1 General The Ecosys Color FS-8000C Series prin ters are designed for high-g rade bond (copy) paper, like those widely used for ordinary xe rographic copiers. The printers wi ll also support other types of paper as long as they meet the standards explained in this chapter .
2.1 General 2-3 2.1.3 Minimum and Maximum Paper Sizes The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as fo llows. For non standard paper such as cut- sheet, the MP (multi-purpose) tray must be used. Figure 2-1 2.1.4 Recommended Paper The following products are recomm ended for us e with the printer for optimum performance.
2.2 Selecting the Right Pap er 2-4 2.2 Selecting the Right Paper T o get clean, crisp printou ts from laser printers all the time, select high-qualit y printer paper that meets the printer ’ s requirements. Laser prin ters use laser beams, el ectrostatic discharge, toner , and heat, all of which af fect the paper .
2.2 Selecting the Right Paper 2-5 2.2.2 Paper properties Smoothness Paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or sandy surface can cause gaps in printouts. However , paper with surfaces that are too smooth ma y cause multiple-she et feeding and fogging problems (foggin g is a gray background effect).
2.2 Selecting the Right Pap er 2-6 sheet feed, or too light printing prob lems, the paper may be too thin. If you enco unter paper jam or too heavy printing problems, the pa per may be too thick. The recommended thickness of a sheet for this printer is between 0.
2.2 Selecting the Right Paper 2-7 2.2.3 Other properties of paper Porosity The density of paper st ructure, which indicates the compactness of the fiber b onding. It is also the characteristic that allo ws air to pass t hrough paper (i .e., air permeability ).
2.3 Special Paper 2-8 2.3 Special Paper Besides plain paper , this printer can use the follow ing types of special paper: • T ransparencies • Pre-printed • Labels •B o n d • Recycled • V e.
2.3 Special Paper 2-9 T ranspare ncy T ransparencies for overhead pr ojectors m ust withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. The recommended transpar ency product is as follows: 3M CG3700 (Letter, A4) T ransparencies must be placed on the MP (multi -purpose) tray with the long edge tow ards the printer .
2.3 Special Paper 2-10 When selecting labels, make sure to use only those meeting th e following requirements: Envelopes Envelopes must be fed manually . Since the composition of an envelope is more compl ex than that of ordinary paper , it is not always possible to ensure consistent prin ting quality over the entire envelope surface.
