Supported Paper

This chapter describes various information about paper that can be loaded in a paper tray of this machine.

Supported Paper Types

For high-quality printing, be sure to use paper types that satisfy requirements such as those for material quality, weight, and surface finish. Please use digital photo print paper.

If not using recommended paper, please check the print quality and the movement of the paper sufficiently beforehand to make sure that there are no problems. Your printer supports the following types of paper.

Paper Type

Paper Size mm (inch)

Paper Weight

Plain paper

A3

297 x 420

A4/ Letter size or more:

64 to 256 g/m2

Under A4/ Letter size:

For duplex printing:

64 to 220 g/m2

  • If the paper size is set at A6, A5, or with a paper width narrower than 216 mm, the printing will be slower.

*1 Use paper that meets the following conditions:

- Paper that meets the conditions for plain paper.

- An ink used for a part printing is heat resistant (230℃).

Note

  • When specifying a printing area, please take into account the differences of printing position as followings:

    Print start position: ±2 mm, Paper skew: ±1 mm/100 mm, Image stretch: ±1 mm/100 mm (when paper ream weight is 70 kg)

  • This printer cannot print on an ink.

*2 Use paper that meets the following conditions:

- A pigment or an ink used to color paper is heat resistant (230℃).

- Paper that has same characteristics with light paper.

- Paper used for an electronic photo printer.

Paper Recommendations

The machine supports a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes. This section describes how to choose and use media. To obtain the best performance, use 75 to 90 g/m2 plain paper that is designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended. Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing process.

  • Envelopes

    Envelopes must be free from twists, curls or other deformations. The envelopes must also be of the rectangular flap type, with glue that remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing in the machine. Window envelopes are not suitable.

  • Labels

    Labels must be of the type recommended for use in copiers and laser printers, in which the base carrier page is entirely covered by labels. Other types of label stocks may damage the machine due to the labels peeling off during the printing process.

Paper storage

Store paper under the following conditions to maintain quality.

  • Inside a cabinet or other dry and dark place

  • On a flat surface

  • Temperature: 20℃

  • Humidity: 50% RH (relative humidity)

Do not store paper in the places as shown below:

  • Directly on the floor

  • Where paper is exposed to direct sunlight

  • Near the inside of an exterior wall

  • On an uneven surface

  • Where static electricity may be generated

  • Where temperature excessively rises high and temperature rapidly changes

  • Near this machine, an air conditioner, a heater, or duct

Note

  • Do not unwrap paper until just before you use.

  • Do not leave paper unwrapped for a long period. Doing so may result in printing problems.

  • Depending on the print media, environment, storage conditions, the print quality may deteriorate or printout may get curled.
