Paper Selection
Although the page printer is designed for printing on standard dry PPC photocopier
copy paper (standard paper), it can print on various types of paper that conform to
the specifications given in this chapter. For details on paper which can be used,
also refer to the printer's User's Manual.
Select paper carefully as using paper inappropriate for the printer may result in
paper jams or wrinkling of output paper. Low-quality paper may reduce printing
quality, not only wasting paper but possibly leading to damage to the printer. It is
possible to achieve efficient printing with few problems and minimize the risk of
printer damage or wear by following the precautions listed below.
Usable Paper
Be sure to use copy paper (standard paper) used in standard dry PPC photocopiers.
Note
Some recylced paper does not meet the necessary specifications
(Table 1) for use in this printer due to conditions such as stored
water and pulp content. Before purchasing recycled paper, test a
sample on the printer and check that printing quality is satisfactory.
Be sure to select a brand of recycled paper which offers good
printing quality and does not contain excessive paper dust.
There are differences in grade between each paper manufacturer, and these
differences can affect printer operations. Satisfactory printing results cannot be
obtained through the use of poor-quality paper. Even inexpensive paper may turn
out to be uneconomical from a results standpoint if its quality is inappropriate for
the printer.
