Special Paper
This section explains printing on special paper. The page printer can use
the following types of special paper. In this case, set the media type
according to the table below.
When using the above types of paper, be sure to use products that are
specified for use with photocopiers and/or page printers. Feed paper other
than colored paper or pre-printed paper from the MP (multi-purpose) tray.
Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers (heat-fusing type).
Label paper and envelopes should not be placed in the cassette; they must
be fed manually and delivered in the face up stack.
Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably,
special paper is more likely than white bond paper to give trouble during
printing. No liability will be assumed if moisture, etc., given off in printing
on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator.
Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on the printer
and check that print quality is satisfactory.
Specifications for each type of special paper are given below.
Transparency (Overhead Projection Film)
Transparency must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the
printing process. It should satisfy the conditions given in the table below.
To avoid trouble, transparency must be delivered face-up.
If transparency jams frequently, pull the top of the sheet very gently as it
leaves the printer.
