3-4 Handling Paper
Selecting the Right Paper
This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper.
Condition
Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn, embossed,
or contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds.
Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing and paper
jams, and can shorten the life of the machine. In particular, avoid using
paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. Paper should
have as smooth and even a surface as possible.
Composition
Do not use paper that has been coated or surface-treated and contains
plastic or carbon. The heat of fusing can cause such paper to give off
harmful fumes.
Bond paper should contain at least 80 % pulp. Not more than 20 % of the
total paper content should consist of cotton or other fibers.
Paper Sizes
Cassettes and the MP tray are available for the paper sizes listed in the
table below. For details, including the paper sizes for the paper feeder
(Optional paper feeder PF-500, PF-510) refer to Cassette (1 to 5) Size
(Setting the cassette paper size) on page 4-35.
The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches) for the length
and width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.
