B.3. Special Paper
B-5
Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from damage during transport.
Quality paper obtained from a reputable supplier is usually properly packaged.
B.3. Special Paper
The following types of special paper can be used:
❒
Overhead projection (OHP) film
❒
Adhesive-backed label paper
❒
Envelopes
❒
Colored paper
❒
Preprinted paper
❒
Recycled paper
Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers (heat-fusing type). OHP film, label paper,
and envelopes should not be placed in the cassette; they must be fed manually and delivered in
the face up stack.
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 etc.
given off in printing on special paper causes harm to the machine or operator.
☛
Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on the printer and
check that printing quality is satisfactory.
Specifications for each type of special paper are given below.
Overhead Projection (OHP) Film
OHP film must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. It should satisfy
the conditions in Table B.3.
To avoid trouble, OHP film must be delivered face-up.
If OHP film jams frequently, pull the top of the sheet very gently as it leaves the printer.
