Hagaki
Before loading Hagaki into the multi purpose tray, fan them and align the edges. If the Hagaki paper is curled, straighten
it before loading. Printing onto curled Hagaki may cause jams.
Use unfolded Oufukuhagaki (available at post offices). Some Hagaki may still have rough edges developed by a paper
cutter on the back side. Remove any such rough edges by placing the Hagaki on a flat surface and rubbing the edges
gently a few times with a ruler.
Envelopes
Use the multi purpose tray for envelopes.
Due to the structure of envelopes, printing evenly over the entire surface may not be possible in some cases. Thin
envelopes in particular may be wrinkled by the machine in some cases as they pass through. Before purchasing
envelopes in volume, try testing a sample to ensure the print quality.
Storing envelopes for a long period may cause them to become wrinkled. Thus, keep the package sealed until you are
ready to use them.
Keep the following points in mind.
• Do not use envelopes with exposed adhesive. In addition, do not use the type of envelope in which the adhesive is
exposed after the top layer is peeled off. Serious damage may be caused if the paper covering the adhesive comes
off in the machine.
• Do not use envelopes with certain special features. For example, do not use envelopes with a grommet for winding a
string to close the flap or envelopes with an open or film-covered window.
• If paper jams occur, load fewer envelopes at once.
Thick Paper
Before loading thick paper in the multi purpose tray, fan it and align the edges. Some thick paper may still have rough
edges developed by a paper cutter on the back side. Remove any such rough edges just as with Hagaki by placing the
paper on a flat surface and rubbing the edges gently a few times with a ruler. Printing onto paper with rough edges may
cause jams
Colored Paper
Colored paper must conform to the specifications listed on the page 11-11 . In addition, the pigments in the paper must
be able to withstand the heat of printing (up to 200°C or 392°F).
Preprinted Paper
Preprinted paper must conform to the specifications listed on the page 11-11 . The colored ink must be able to withstand
the heat of printing. It must be resistant to silicone oil as well. Do not use paper with a treated surface such as glossy
paper used for calendars.
NOTE
If the paper is not supplied correctly even after it is smoothed, load the paper in the multi purpose tray with the leading
edge raised a few millimeters.
