4-1 Chapter 4 P a per Selection 4 This chapter explains the following topics: • Gener al Guidel ines • Selecting the Right P aper • Special P aper •P a p e r T y p e.
General Guidelines 4-2 4.1 Gener al Guidelines The printer is desig ned to print on high-qua lity copier bond p aper (the kind used in ordinary dry copier machines), but it can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below .
Selecting the Right Paper 4-3 4.2 Selecting the Right P aper Laser printing is a process in volving laser light, electr ostatic discharge, toner , and heat. In addition, as the paper passes through the print er it undergoes cons iderable slid ing, bendin g, and twisting motions.
Selecting the Right Paper 4-4 Paper Size Cassettes and an MP tray are available for the paper si zes listed in Ta b l e 4- 2 . The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) for the length and width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.
Selecting the Right Paper 4-5 T hickness (Caliper) Thick paper is referred to as high-caliper paper and thi n paper as low- caliper paper . The paper us ed with the printer shou ld be neither extremely thick nor extremely thin.
Selecting the Right Paper 4-6 Other Paper Proper ties Porosity: Refers to the density of the paper structure; that is, to how openly or compactly the f ibers are bonded. Stiffness: Limp paper can buckle inside the p rinter , while paper that is too stiff may b ind.
S pecial Paper 4-7 4.3 Special P aper The following ty pes of special paper can be used: • Transparency (overhead projection film) • Adhesive-backed label paper • Envelope s • Color ed paper • Preprinted paper • Re cycled paper Use paper that i s sold specifically for use with copiers (heat-fu sing type).
S pecial Paper 4-8 4.3.2 Adhesiv e-Bac k ed La bels The basic rule for printing on adhesive labe ls is t hat the adh es ive mus t ne ve r c ome into contact with any part of the printer . Adhesive paper stic king to the drum or rollers will damage the printer .
S pecial Paper 4-9 Postcards F an the stack of postcards and align the edges before lo ading them in the MP tray . Make sure the postcards yo u are going to set are not curled. F eeding curled postcards may cause paper jams. Some postcards have roug h edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut).
S pecial Paper 4-10 T hick P aper F an the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray . Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut).
Paper T ype 4-1 1 4.4 P aper Type The printer is cap able of printing under the optimum setting for the type of paper being used. Setting the pa per type for the pa per source by usi ng the KM-NET for Clients utility will cause the printer to aut omatically select the paper source and pri nt in the mode be st suited to that type of paper .
