2.1 General

2.1General

The Ecosys Color FS-C8008 Series printers are designed for high-grade bond (copy) paper, like those widely used for ordinary xerographic copiers. The printers will also support other types of paper as long as they meet the standards explained in this chapter.

Selecting the right paper is very important. Use of unsuitable paper can cause paper jams, misfeed, curling, poor print quality, and even worse, printer damage. This chapter shows you how to use your printer in a way that will ensure efficient, error-free printing and minimal printer damage. This practice will increase your office productivity.

Kyocera Mita will not be liable for any problems that may occur if you use paper that does not meet these standards.

Note

2.1.1Available paper types

The FS-C8008 Series printers can use almost any type of printer paper. These printers accept paper used for xerographic copiers as well.

Paper comes in three generic grades: economy, standard, and premium. The grades are determined by how easily the paper can pass through the printer. This depends on the smoothness, size, moisture content, and cutting of the paper. The higher the grade, the less risk of problems (such as paper jams), and higher the print quality.

The differences in paper characteristics of different paper makers also affect the printer performance. High-performance printers can produce high-quality results only when the right types of paper are selected. Low-priced paper is not always economical, especially if it ends up causing frequent printing problems.

Paper of the different grades is available in basis weights (explained later). The recommended basis weights of paper for the printers are 16, 20, and 24 pounds. When expressed in grams per square meter, the recommended basis weights range from 60 to 90 g/m².
