OPERATION GUIDE
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the
above exclusion may not apply to you.
3. Limitation of Remedies
IBM's entire liability under this license is the following;
For any claim (including fundamental breach), in any form, related in any
way to this license, IBM's liability will be for actual damages only and will
be limited to the greater of:
the equivalent of U.S. $25,000 in your local currency; or

IBM will not be liable for any damages claimed by you based on any third
party claim. This limitation of remedies also applies to any developer of
Programs supplied to IBM. IBM's and the developer's limitations of
remedies are not cumulative. Such developer is an intended beneficiary of
this Section. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations or
exclusions, so they may not apply to you.
4. General
You may terminate your license at any time. IBM may terminate your
license if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this license. In
either event, you must destroy all your copies of the Program. You are
responsible for payment of any taxes, including personal property taxes,
resulting from this license. Neither party may bring an action, regardless of
form, more than two years after the cause of action arose. If you acquired
the Program in the United States, this license is governed by the laws of

General Guidelines
The 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.
NOTE: The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that occur
when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.
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 Availability
Most 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 105 g/m² (16 to 28lb).

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. The dimensional tolerances are ±0.7mm for the length and
width. The angle at the corners must be 90° ±0.2°.
MP Tray:
Executive, Statement, Envelope #10, Envelope #9, Envelope Monarch,
Envelope #6, Envelope C5, Envelope DL, Legal, Oficio II, Letter-R, Folio,
ISO A4-R, JIS B5-R, ISO B5-R, ISO A5, JIS B6, ISO A6, Hagaki, OfukuHagaki, Youkei 2, Youkei 4, 16 kai, Custom (70 × 148 to 216 × 356mm (213/16 × 5-13/16 to 8-1/2 × 14 inches))
Cassette:
Legal, Oficio II, Letter-R, Folio, ISO A4-R, JIS B5-R, ISO A5, 16 kai
Smoothness
The 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.)
Basis weight
Basis 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,
2-4
OPERATION GUIDE
Loading 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 105g/m² (16 to 28 lib/
ream) for the cassette and between 60 and 220g/m² (16 to 59 lib/ream) for
the MP tray.

Thickness
The 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 Content
Moisture 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.
OPERATION GUIDE
2-5
Loading Paper
The 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 Grain
When 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 Properties
Porosity: 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.
2-6
OPERATION GUIDE
Loading Paper
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.
Special Paper
The 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
•
Labels
Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heatfusing 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.
NOTE: Before purchasing any type of special paper, test a sample on the
machine and check that printing quality is satisfactory.
Transparency
This 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. The recommended transparency product is 3M PP2500
(Letter, A4).
OPERATION GUIDE
2-7
Loading Paper
Transparencies must be placed on
the MP tray with the long edge
towards the printer.
MP Tray
Labels
Labels 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
Top sheet (white
sheet is printed on. The adhesive
bond paper)
layer consists of pressureAdhesive
sensitive adhesives. The carrier
Carrier sheet
sheet (also called the linear or
backing sheet) holds the labels
until used. Due to the complexity
of its composition, adhesivebacked 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.
2-8
OPERATION GUIDE
Loading Paper
Some 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.

may cause paper jams.
Rough Edge
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.
OPERATION GUIDE
2-9
Loading Paper
Envelopes
Up 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.
Thick Paper
Fan 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.
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.
Colored Paper
Colored 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).
2-10
OPERATION GUIDE
Loading Paper
Preprinted Paper
Preprinted 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 paper
Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the white
bond paper except for whiteness. Refer to Paper Specifications on page 22.
NOTE: Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the machine
and check that the printing quality is satisfactory.
