Notes on using cut sheets
• Use cut sheets with a paper roll loaded.
• Use of multi-ply copy paper with a thick middle sheet
may decrease copying capability.
• Printing noise may change depending on paper thick-
ness. Noise may increase when thick single-ply paper is
used.
• Use cut sheet that is flat, without curls, folds, warps, or
wrinkles, especially at the paper end (
✽
). Otherwise, the
paper may become ink stained or the ribbon may get
caught in the printer mechanism.
(
✽
) Especially slip paper with curls at the paper end
may cause character misalignment within the area
about 17 mm (.67") from the paper edge.
• Glue must not be on the bottom edge of slip paper. It is
desirable that the glue should be on the top edge of slip
paper. Choose slip paper carefully when the glue is on
the right or left edge of the slip paper, since paper
feeding and paper insertion are affected by gluing con-
ditions (e.g., glue quality, method, and length) and glue
location (refer to Figure 1-4). Be careful especially when
slip paper is wide and has the glue on the right or left
edge, since meandering may occur.
• Cut sheets with holes (e.g., sprocket holes) within the
areas shown in Figures 1-5 and 1-6 must not be used.
Otherwise, the paper cannot be detected by the paper
sensor. Paper that is translucent must not be used.
