Storing and Handling Paper
Ensure that appropriate precautions are considered when storing and handling paper.
Printable Area
Only jobs that are run within the following specifications have guaranteed print quality:
1. Maximum print width: 19.5 inches (495.3 mm)
2. Paper without feed holes:
a. 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) width from both edges of paper in the horizontal direction.
b. 0.04 inch (1.0 mm) length from the page's bottom edge in the feed direction.
3. Paper with pin fed holes:
a. 0.50 inch (12.7) mm width from both edges of paper in the horizontal direction.
b. 1.0 mm length from the page's bottom edge in the feed direction (length can only be
in whole inch or half inch settings).
4. If a high density image is printed on an edge of the print area, the edge of the paper could
be warped, resulting in a device error. Verify print performance fully beforehand.
5. Supported paper sizes are as follows:
6. To print on a page wider than 18 inches, the optional extended print mechanisms 1 and 2
are required.
7. Rotating an image larger than 19.5 inches in length may be accomplished only in pre press
prior to bringing it to the printer.
8. FCB length of non pre-printed paper does not depend on paper. This means the length can
be changed on the printer.
9. Supported paper weight is 64 gsm - 160 gsm (35 kg - 135 kg).
10. When running a duplex system, detection of pin fed paper is as follows:
a. Printer 1 (Upstream) paper is read using pin fed.
b. Printer 2 (Downstream) is read using ROF (Registration of Feed) mark.
11. When using pin-fed paper, the printer will allow setting of less than whole or 1/2 inch
increments; but an error will occur.
