Choosing Special Paper
Although special paper that meets the following requirements can be used with the machine, copy
quality will vary considerably due to differences in the construction and quality of special paper.
Thus, special paper is more likely than regular paper to cause printing problems. Before purchasing
special paper in volume, try testing a sample to ensure the printing quality is satisfactory. General
precautions when copying onto special paper are given below. Note that we are not responsible for
any harm to the user or damage to the machine caused by moisture or characteristics of special
paper.
When using special paper, set the paper type to use the cassette or MP tray. (Refer to Specifying
the Paper Type on page 7-15 and Specifying the Paper Type in Chapter 2 of Operation Guide.)
Overhead transparencies
Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of printing.
Transparencies must meet the following conditions.
Item
Specifications
Heat resistance
Must withstand at least 190 °C.
Weight
0.100 - 0.110 mm
Quality
Polyester
Dimensional accuracy ±0.7 mm
Squareness of corners 90° ±0.2°
To avoid printing problems, supply overhead transparencies from the MP tray. Always place in the
vertical direction (with the long edge of the paper facing toward the machine).
If transparencies jam frequently at the ejector, try gently pulling the leading edge of sheets as they
are ejected.
Postcards
Before loading postcards in the MP tray, fan and align
the edges. If the postcard paper is curled, straighten it
before loading. Copying onto curled postcards may
cause jams.
Do not use perforated return postcards.
Some postcards may still have rough edges on the
back side caused during paper cutting. Remove any
such rough edges by placing the postcards on a flat
surface and rubbing the edges gently a few times with
a ruler.
