Notes on slip paper

The slip paper must be flat, without curls or wrinkles, especially at the top edges. Otherwise, the paper may rub against the ribbon and become dirty.

There must be no glue on the bottom edge. Choose slip paper carefully since paper feeding and insertion are affected by gluing conditions (such as glue quality, method, and length) and glue location (see the illustration below). Be especially careful when slip paper is wide and has glue on the left edge, since it may not feed in a straight line.

Since the BOF sensor uses a photo sensor, do not use paper that has holes at the sensor position, or is translucent.

Since the TOF sensor uses a reflective photo sensor and it detects from the back of slip paper, do not use paper that has holes or dark portions with low reflection (less than 40% reflection) at the sensor position.
