Special Paper
This section describes copying onto special paper and copy media.
The following paper and media can be used.
• Transparencies
• Preprinted paper
• Bond paper
• Recycled paper
• Thin paper (from 45 g/m² to 64 g/m² or less)
• Letterhead
• Colored paper
• Prepunched paper
• Envelopes
• Postcards
• Thick paper (from 106 g/m² to 200 g/m² or less)
• Label paper
• Rough paper
• High-quality paper
When using these paper and media, choose that are designed
specifically for copiers or page printers (such as laser printers). Use the
MP tray for transparencies, thin paper, envelopes, and postcards.
Choosing Special Paper
Although special paper that meets the following requirements can be
used with the machine, copy quality will vary considerably due to
differences in the construction and quality of special paper. Thus, special
paper is more likely than regular paper to cause copying problems.
Before purchasing special paper in volume, try testing a sample to
ensure the copy quality is satisfactory. General precautions when
copying onto special paper are given below. Note that we are not
responsible for any harm to the user or damage to the machine caused
by moisture or specifications of special paper.
When using special paper, set the media type to use the cassette or MP
tray. (Refer to Setting Media Type and Paper Size for the Cassettes and
MP Tray in Chapter 2 of Operation Guide.)
Transparencies
Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of copying.
Transparencies must meet the following conditions.
To avoid problems, use the MP tray for transparencies and load
transparencies with the long side facing the machine.
If transparencies jam frequently, try pulling the leading edge of sheets
gently as they are ejected.
