Chapter 3: Paper handling
This chapter explains the different ways the printer handles paper
(feeding, setting of printing position, changing between different
types of paper).
Notes on paper types
• Always use good quality standard paper!
Feeding from ... Weight
Cut sheets Top 52 - 90 g/m
2
Continuous paper Rear/bottom
Single-part 45 - 90 g/m
2
Multi-part, NCR paper (sheet) 38 - 41 g/m
2
Multi-part with carbon paper (sheet) 38 - 45 g/m
2
Labels Bottom 34 - 41 g/m
2
Transparencies Top ≤ 0.1 mm
• The printer will also handle heavier weight paper sheets, multi-
part paper, paper stickers on backing paper, etc.
• Recycled paper can also be used provided it matches the general
paper specification. There may be a slight loss of quality due to
the generally rougher quality of the paper.
• Do not use damaged sheets as the paper may be fed in incorrect-
ly or may cause a jam.
• Unopened packets of paper should be kept flat in a cool, dry
room until used. As soon as a packet is opened, the unused
paper should be kept in a plastic bag. This will protect the paper
against ambient moisture.
• In order to ensure fault-free handling and the best print qual-
ity, it is best to carry out one or more trial prints before per-
forming large print runs.
