Selecting the Right Paper
This section describes the major considerations for selecting
the right printing paper.
2.2.1
Guidelines
Paper conditions
Do not use paper with folded edges, curls, warps, smudges,
tears, or embossing. Also do not use paper containing lint,
clay, or paper debris. Using such paper may cause illegible
printing, misfeeds, paper jams, etc., and shorten the product
life of the printer. Never use paper with surface coating or
other surface treatment. The paper surface should be as
smooth and even as possible.
Paper composition
Do not use paper with surface-coating or containing plastic
or carbon. The heat of fusing causes such paper to emit toxic
fumes.
Bond paper should have at least an 80 % pulp content. The
percentage of cotton and other fibers should not exceed 20 %.
Paper sizes
Table 2-2
lists the standard paper sizes and dimensions.
Note that certain paper sizes are available only for MP tray
feeding (as remarked) and face-up tray delivering. For details
on using MP tray, see
Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel,
section 3.10.1 MP Tray Mode on page 3-48
.
The dimensional tolerances for these paper sizes are
±
0.7
mm (
±
0.0276 inches) for both length and width of paper. The
corner angles must be 90
±
0.2
°
.
