Appendix

Envelope

Be sure to feed envelopes from the multi-bypass tray.

Since the composition of an envelope is complex, consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface may be difficult. Thin envelopes, particularly, may be wrinkled while they pass through this machine. Before purchasing envelopes, perform trial printing to check to see if the printing result on an envelope is satisfactory.

Leaving envelopes for a long time may cause wrinkling. Unpack the envelopes just before using them.

Also note the following items.

•Do not use any envelopes on which adhesive is exposed. Even if adhesive is not exposed, if simple peeling of paper exposes adhesive, do not use such envelopes. If a small piece of paper that covers the adhesive is peeled in this machine, a serious failure may occur.

•Do not use envelopes with special treatment. Do not use envelopes with a grommet for winding a string, those with an open window or those with a window to which film treatment is applied.

•If paper jams occur, set fewer envelopes at a time.

•When printing onto multiple envelopes, avoid stack of more than 10 envelopes on the output tray to prevent paper jams.

Thick Paper

Fan the stack of thick paper and align the edges before loading it in the multi-bypass tray. Some thick paper has rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the thick paper on a flat place and rub the edges with, for example, a ruler lightly once or twice to smooth them in a similar way to Postcard. Printing onto paper with rough edges may cause paper jams.

Note If the paper cannot be fed even after the rough edges are removed, curl the paper upward by several millimeters at the front end as shown in the illustration and set the paper in the multi-bypass tray.

Color paper

Color paper must satisfy the specifications listed in the table on page 2 of the Appendix. In addition, the pigments in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to 200 °C).

Preprinted paper

Preprinted paper must satisfy the specifications listed in the table on page 2 of the Appendix. The ink on the paper for coloring must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process and must not be adversely affected by silicone oil. Do not use paper with any kind of coating, such as calendars.

Recycled paper

Recycled paper must satisfy the specifications listed in the table on page 2 of the Appendix except for whiteness.

Note Before purchasing recycled paper, perform trial printing to check to see if the printing quality is satisfactory.
