Special Paper

4.3Special Paper

The following types of special paper can be used:

Transparency (overhead projection film)

Adhesive-backed label paper

Envelopes

Colored paper

Preprinted paper

Recycled paper

Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers (heat-fusing type). Transparency, label paper, and envelopes should not be placed in the paper cassette; they must be fed from the MP tray and delivered in the face up stack.

Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably, special paper is more likely than white bond paper to give trouble during printing. No liability will be assumed if moisture and so forth given off during printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator.

Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on the printer and check that printing quality is satisfactory.

Specifications for each type of special paper are given below.

4.3.1Transparency (overhead projection film)

Transparency must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. It should satisfy the conditions in Table 4.3.
