Chapter 2 Paper Selection

Colored Paper
Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white
bond paper, listed in
Paper Specifications on page 2-1
. In
addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to
withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up
to 200 °C or 392 °F).
Preprinted Paper
Preprinted paper should have a bond paper base and meet the
specifications listed in the table on
page 2-2
. The preprinted
ink must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the
printing process, and must not be affected by silicone oil.
Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as
the type of paper commonly used for calendars.
Recycled Paper
Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as
the white bond paper (see
Paper Specifications on page 2-1
)
except whiteness.
Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the printer
and check that the print quality is satisfactory.
The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting
for the type of paper being used.
Setting the paper type for the paper source from the printer’s
operator panel will cause the printer to automatically select
the paper source and print in the mode best suited to that type
of paper.
A different paper type setting can be made for each paper
source including the MP tray. Not only can preset paper types
be selected, but it is also possible for you to define and select
customized paper types. See
Customizing the Paper Type on
page 1-19
