Kyocera FS-1020MFP, FS-1220MFP manual Special Paper, Labels

Preparation

Special Paper

The following types of special paper can be used:

•Preprinted paper

•Labels*

•Bond paper

•Recycled paper

•Thin paper* (60 to 64 g/m²)

•Rough paper

•Letterhead

•Colored paper

•Prepunched paper

•Envelopes*

•Cardstocks (Postcards)*

•Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²)

•High-quality paper

*Only one sheet can be loaded at a time in the cassette.

Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heat-fusing type).

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.

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

Labels

One label sheet can be loaded at a time.

The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into contact with any part of the machine. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the machine.

Top sheet (white bond paper)

Adhesive

Carrier sheet

Label paper has a structure comprising of three layers, as shown in the diagram. The top sheet is printed on. The adhesive layer consists of pressure-sensitive adhesives. The carrier sheet (also called the linear or backing sheet) holds the labels until used. Due to the complexity of its composition, adhesive-backed label paper is particularly likely to give printing problems.

Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with no spaces between the individual labels. Labels with spaces in between are liable to peel off, causing serious paper jam problems.
