2.4 Special Paper

Envelopes

Envelopes must be fed manually.

Since the composition of an envelope is more complex than that of ordinary paper, it is not always possible to ensure consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface.

Normally, envelopes have a diagonal grain direction. See section Grain on page 2-6. This direction can easily cause wrinkles and creases when envelopes pass through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes, make a test print to check whether the printer accepts the envelope.

Other handling cautions follow:

Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive.

Avoid a long printing session for envelopes only. Extended envelope printing can cause premature printer wear.

To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack the printed envelopes no higher than 10 on the output tray.

Colored paper

Colored paper should have the same specifications as the white bond paper listed. In addition, the pigments in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to 200 °C or 392 °F).

Pre-printed paper

Pre-printed paper should basically be bond paper. The inks on the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process and must not be adversely affected by silicon oil. Do not use paper with any kind of coating, such as calendar stock.

Recycled paper

Select recycled paper that has the same specifications as white bond paper. See Table 2-1 on page 2-2. Recycled paper, however, does not have to be as white as white bond paper.

Before purchasing recycled paper, make a test using the printer and check whether the print quality is satisfactory.
