Notes on using paper other than paper manufactured by Sony Corporation
•When using mat coated paper manufactured by another company, the number of sheets which can be loaded and ejected depends on the thickness of the paper. Thus, those numbers may be different from ones listed on the above table. In the case of double- sided mat paper, the number of sheets may be about 20 pages.
•It is recommended that you use mat coated paper with a thickness between 0.1mm and 0.27mm.
•You cannot use the following paper:
Plain paper whose weight is less than 60g/m2 or higher than 105g/m2.
Available Printing Area
To maintain the quality of print, margins are set at the top, bottom, right and left of the paper. The range on which text or images can be printed is the area inside these margins.
Available printing area
200 × 287 mm (width × height)
Notes on Paper
Notes on handling paper
•When holding paper, hold it at both ends of the sheet so as not to touch the printing surface. Dust, scratches or finger prints on the paper are likely to cause unsatisfactory printing.
•After printing, do not touch the surface printed until the ink dries. Also, if you wet the printed sheet with water, do not touch the surface printed until it dries.
•There are some types of paper whose printed surface warps and is rubbed when printing photos or graphics using a large amount of ink. This type of paper is not suitable for printing photos or graphics. Use this type of paper when printing print data consisting of characters or text.
When storing paper
•Use the original package for unused paper.
•Avoid storing paper in a location subject to:
–high temperatures
–high humidity
–excessive dust
–direct sunlight
•Place the unused paper on a flat surface so that it will not warp or bend.
