2-2 Loading PaperGeneral GuidelinesThe machine is designed to print on standard copier paper, but it can also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified below.Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper can result in paper jams, curling, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in extreme cases can damage the machine. The guidelines given below will increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble-free printing and reducing wear and tear on the machine.Paper AvailabilityMost types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with the machine.There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard, and premium. The most significant difference between grades is the ease with which they pass through the machine. This is affected by the smoothness, size, and moisture content of the paper, and the way in which the paper is cut. The higher the grade of paper you use, the less risk there will be of paper jams and other problems, and the higher the level of quality your printed output will reflect.Differences between paper from different suppliers can also affect the machine's performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce high-quality results when the wrong paper is used. Low-priced paper is not economical in the long run if it causes printing problems.Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights (defined later). The traditional standard weights are 60 to 120 g/m2 (16 to 31.9b).Paper SpecificationsThe following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details are given on the following pages:Note The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.Item SpecificationsWeight Cassette: 60 to 120 g/m² (16 to 31.9 lb/ream)MP tray: 60 to 220 g/m² (16 to 58.5 lb/ream)Thickness 0.086 to 0.110mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils)Dimensional Accuracy±0.7 mm (±0.0276 inches)Squareness of Corners 90±0.2°Moisture Content 4 to 6%Direction of Grain Long grainPulp Content 80% or more

2-4 Loading PaperSelecting the Right PaperThis section describes the guidelines for selecting paper.ConditionAvoid 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.CompositionDo 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 SizesCassettes and the MP Tray are available for the paper sizes listed in the table below. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7mm for the length and width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.MP Tray:Envelope Monarch, Envelope #10, Envelope #9, Envelope #6, Envelope C5, Envelope DL, Legal, Letter-R, Statement, Oficio II, Executive, ISO A4-R, ISO A5, ISO A6, Folio, ISO B5-R, JIS B5-R, JIS B6, Hagaki, Ofuku-Hagaki, Youkei 2, Youkei 4, 16 kai, Custom (70 × 148 to 216 × 356mm (2-13/16 × 5-13/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches))Cassette:Legal, Letter-R, Statement, Oficio II, Executive, ISO A4-R, ISO A5, A6 (only for machine’s paper cassette), Folio, ISO B5-R, JIS B5-R, Envelope C5, 16 kai, Custom (Paper Cassette: 105 × 148 to 216 × 356mm (4-1/8 × 5-13/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches), Paper Feeder: 148 × 210 to 216 × 356mm (5-13/16 × 8-5/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches))SmoothnessThe paper should have a smooth, uncoated surface. Paper with a rough or sandy surface can cause blank spaces in the printed output. Paper that is too smooth can cause multiple feeding and fogging problems. (Fogging is a gray background effect.)Note If the length of custom paper is larger than 297mm, you can load the standard-size paper from Folio to Letter.Note If the length of custom paper is larger than 297mm, you can load the standard-size paper from Folio to Legal.
Loading Paper 2-5Basis weightBasis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter (g/m²). Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause feed errors or paper jams as well as premature wear of the product. Uneven weight of paper, namely uneven paper thickness may cause multiple-sheet feeding or print quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner fusing.The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 120g/m² (16 to 31.9 lib/ream) for the cassette and between 60 and 220g/m² (16 to 59 lib/ream) for the MP tray.Paper Weight Equivalence TableThe paper weight is listed in pounds (lb) and metric grams per square meter (g/m²). The shaded part indicates the standard weight.ThicknessThe paper used with the machine should be neither extremely thick nor extremely thin. If you are having problems with paper jams, multiple feeds, and faint printing, the paper you are using may be too thin. If you are having problems with paper jams and blurred printing the paper may be too thick. The correct thickness is 0.086 to 0.110mm (3.4 to 4.3 mils).Moisture ContentMoisture content is defined as the percent ratio of moisture to the dry mass of the paper. Moisture can affect the paper’s appearance, feed ability, curl, electrostatic properties, and toner fusing characteristics.U. S. Bond Weight (lb) Europe Metric Weight (g/m²)16 6017 6420 7521 8022 8124 9027 10028 10532 12034 12836 13539 14842 15743 16347 17653 199
2-6 Loading PaperThe moisture content of the paper varies with the relative humidity in the room. When the relative humidity is high and the paper absorbs moisture, the paper edges expand, becoming wavy in appearance. When the relative humidity is low and the paper loses moisture, the edges shrink and tighten, and print contrast may suffer.Wavy or tight edges can cause jams and alignment anomalies. The moisture content of the paper should be 4 to 6%.To ensure correct moisture content, it is important to store the paper in a controlled environment. Some tips on moisture control are:•Store paper in a cool, dry location.•Keep the paper in its wrapping as long as possible. Re-wrap paper that is not in use.•Store paper in its original carton. Place a pallet etc. under the carton to separate it from the floor. •After removing paper from storage, let it stand in the same room as the machine for 48 hours before use.•Avoid leaving paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight, or damp.Paper GrainWhen paper is manufactured, it is cut into sheets with the grain running parallel to the length (long grain) or parallel to the width (short grain). Short grain paper can cause feeding problems in the machine. All paper used in the machine should be long grain.Other Paper PropertiesPorosity: Indicates the density of paper fiber.Stiffness: Limp paper may buckle in the machine, resulting in paper jams.Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl one way if left unpacked. When paper passes through the fixing unit, it curls upward a little. To produce flat printouts, load the paper so that the upward pressure from the machine can correct their curling.Electrostatic discharge: During the printing process the paper is electrostatically charged to attract the toner. The paper must be able to release this charge so that printed sheets do not cling together in the Output Tray.Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the whiteness of the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper, brighter appearance.Quality control: Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, ragged edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed edges and corners can cause the machine to malfunction in various ways. A quality paper supplier should take considerable care to ensure that these problems do not occur.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 correctly packaged.
Loading Paper 2-7Special PaperThe following types of special paper can be used:•Thin paper (60 to 64 g/m²)•Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²)•Colored paper•Recycled paper•Overhead projector transparencies•Cardstock•Coated paper•Envelopes•LabelsUse paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heat-fusing type). When using transparencies, labels, envelopes, cardstock, coated, or thick paper, feed the paper from the MP Tray.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.TransparencyThis printer is available for monochorome printing on transparencies. Transparencies must be fed to the MP Tray. One transparency can be loaded at a time.Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. Transparencies must be placed on the MP tray with the long edge towards the printer.LabelsLabels must be fed to the MP Tray. One label 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.Top sheet (white bond paper)AdhesiveCarrier sheet
2-8 Loading PaperSome label paper is manufactured with an extra margin of top sheet around the edge. Do not remove the extra top sheet from the carrier sheet until after printing is finished.The table below lists the specifications for adhesive label paper.PostcardsUp to 10 postcards can be loaded at a time. Fan the stack of postcards and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Make sure the postcards you are going to set are not curled. Feeding curled postcards may cause paper jams.Some postcards have rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the postcards on a flat place and rub the edges with, for example, a ruler to smooth them.EnvelopesUp to 5 envelopes can be loaded at a time. Envelopes should be fed in the face-up position, right edge first.Since the composition of an envelope is more complex than that of ordinary paper, it is not always possible to ensure consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface.Normally, envelopes have a diagonal grain direction. Refer to Paper Grain on page 2-6. This direction can easily cause wrinkles and creases when envelopes pass through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes, make a test print to check whether the printer accepts the envelope. •Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive.•Avoid a long printing session for envelopes only. Extended envelope printing can cause premature printer wear.•If jams occur, try setting less envelopes on the MP tray.•To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10 printed envelopes on the output tray. Top sheetUnacceptableAcceptableCarrier sheetItem SpecificationWeight of top sheet 44 to 74g/m² (12 to 20 lb/ream)Composite weight 104 to 151g/m² (28 to 40 lb/ream)Thickness of top sheet 0.086 to 0.107mm (3.9 to 4.2 mils)Composite thickness 0.115 to 0.145mm (4.5 to 5.7 mils)Moisture content 4 to 6% (composite)
Loading Paper 2-9Thick PaperFan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat place and rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth them. Feeding rough edged paper may cause paper jams.Colored PaperColored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper. Refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2. In addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to 200°C or 392°F).Preprinted PaperPreprinted paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper. Refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2.The preprinted ink must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process, and must not be affected by silicone oil.Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as the type of paper commonly used for calendars.Recycled paperSelect recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the white bond paper except for whiteness. Refer to Paper Specifications on page 2-2.Note If the paper jams even after you smooth it out, load the paper in the MP Tray with the leading edge raised up a few millimeters as shown in the illustration.Note Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the machine and check that the printing quality is satisfactory.

You can replace the toner container according to the printer's status:Also, the internal parts need periodic cleaning.Toner Container ReplacementThe Toner indicator identifies the toner status at two stages of toner usage. •When the printer becomes low on toner, the toner indicator for the indivisual colors flashes. Note the replacement is not always necessary at this stage. •If you ignore the above status and continue printing, the Toner indicator lights up just before the toner is used up. The toner container must then be replaced immediately.In either case, replace the toner container. Frequency of toner container replacementAssuming an average toner coverage of 5% and EcoPrint mode turned off, the toner container will need replacing approximately once every 7,200 pages.Starter Toner ContainerThe toner container packed with the new printer is a starter toner container. The starter toner container lasts an average of 3,600 pages.Toner KitsFor best results, we recommend that you only use genuine Kyocera Parts and Supplies.A new toner kit contains the following items:•Toner Container•Plastic waste bag for old toner container•Installation GuideNote Information Collection on Memory Chips - The memory chip attached to the toner container is designed to improve convenience for the end user; to support the recycling operation of empty toner containers; and to gather information to support new product planning and development. The information gathered is anonymous - it cannot be associated to any specific individual and the data is intended to be used anonymously. Note Do not remove the toner container from the carton until you are ready to install it in the printer.
