Special paper
The page printer can use the following types of special paper:
• Colored paper
• Preprinted paper (letter head, etc.)
When using the above types of paper, be sure to use products that are specified for
use with photocopiers and/or page printers.
Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably, special paper
is more likely than white bond paper to give trouble during printing. Some special
paper will emit harmful gases during printing. When using a new type of special
paper for the first time, make sure to perform a test first.
Note
Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on the
printer and check that the printing quality is satisfactory.
Following are the specifications for special paper.
Colored paper
Colored paper should meet the same specifications as those listed for white bond
paper in Table 1. In addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to
withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process.
Preprinted paper (letter head, etc.)
When printing on preprinted paper, 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.
Note
In the duplex printing mode, page 2 is printed first. When using
letter head paper, etc. for duplex printing, it is recommended to
place the paper with the sides reversed in the cassette.
