Preparation
Special Paper
The following types of special paper can be used:
• Preprinted paper
• Labels*
• Bond paper
• Recycled paper
• Thin paper* (60 to 64 g/m²)
• Rough paper
• Letterhead
• Colored paper
• Prepunched paper
• Envelopes*
• Cardstocks (Postcards)*
• Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²)
• High-quality paper
* Only one sheet can be loaded at a time in the cassette.
Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heat-fusing type).
Since the composition and quality of special paper vary considerably, special paper is more likely than white bond paper to
give trouble during printing. No liability will be assumed if moisture and so forth given off during printing on special paper
causes harm to the machine or operator.
Labels
One label sheet can be loaded at a time.
The basic rule for printing on adhesive labels is that the adhesive must never come into contact with any part of the
machine. Adhesive paper sticking to the drum or rollers will damage the machine.
Label paper has a structure comprising of three layers, as shown in the diagram. The top sheet is printed on. The adhesive
layer consists of pressure-sensitive adhesives. The carrier sheet (also called the linear or backing sheet) holds the labels
until used. Due to the complexity of its composition, adhesive-backed label paper is particularly likely to give printing
problems.
Adhesive label paper must be entirely covered by its top sheet, with no spaces between the individual labels. Labels with
spaces in between are liable to peel off, causing serious paper jam problems.
Note Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on the machine and check that printing quality is
satisfactory.
