2.4 Special Paper
Besides plain paper, this printer can use the following types of special paper:
You can assign one of these special paper type to a paper cassette or MP (multi-purpose)
tray by using the printer’s operator panel keys. Then, the printer can automatically select the
paper cassette or multi-purpose tray to feed the special paper from and internally adjust the
electrical parameters for optimum printing performance according to the special paper type.
For details, see Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel, section 3.10.5 Setting the Cassette
Paper Type on page 3-76.
Note that some types of special paper do not allow feeding from the paper feeder cassette.
2.4.1 Selecting the Special Paper
Since special paper differs significantly in paper composition and quality, special paper is
more likely to cause problems than white bond paper during printing. When using special
paper, be sure that they are manufactured for photocopiers and/or page printers.
Before purchasing any special paper, make a test print using the printer and check whether
the results are satisfactory.
To avoid problems, stack transparencies, labels, postcards, envelopes, or thick paper on the
face-up tray (option).
Major considerations for each type of special paper are given below.
