Kyocera FS-1010 manual Adhesive Label Specifications, Envelopes, Colored Paper, Preprinted Paper

Special Paper

Table 4.4 lists the specifications for adhesive label paper.

Table 4.4 Adhesive Label Specifications

Item	Specification
Weight of top sheet	44 to 74 g/m2 (12 to 20 lb/ream)
Composite weight	104 to 151 g/m2 (28 to 40 lb/ream)
Thickness of top sheet	0.086 to 0.107 mm (3.9 to 4.2 mils)
Composite thickness	0.115 to 0.145 mm (4.5 to 5.7 mils)
Moisture content	4 to 6% (composite)

Envelopes

The printer can print on envelopes using paper with a basis weight of 60 to 79 g/m2 (16 to 21 lb/ream). Envelopes must be manually fed.

An envelope is a more complex object than a single sheet of paper. For this reason, it may not be possible to obtain consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface.

Many envelopes have a diagonal grain orientation. (See Paper Grain on page 4-5.) This orientation is more likely to wrinkle and crease on its way through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes for use with the printer, test a sample to verify the envelope’s suitability.

Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive.

Avoid long printing runs consisting of envelopes only. Extensive envelope printing can cause premature printer wear.

To avoid jamming due to curled envelopes, do not leave more than approximately 10 printed envelopes stacked in the paper trays during multiple envelope printing.

Colored Paper

Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper, listed in Table 4.1 on page 4-2. In addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to 200°C or 392°F).

Preprinted Paper

Preprinted paper should have a bond paper base. The preprinted ink must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process, and must not be affected by silicone oil.

Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as the type of paper commonly used for calendars.
