Chapter 2 Handling Paper The printer can use a variety of media in various sizes. However, any media you will choose to use with the printer must be in accordance with the guidelines and specifications in this chapter. Use of paper not satisfying these guidelines and specifications may cause problems such as frequent paper jams, poor quality printing, and possible damage to the printer mechanism.
2.1 General 2.1 General The Ecosys Color FS-C5016N printer is designed for high-grade bond (copy) paper, like those widely used for ordinary xerographic copiers. The printer will also support other types of paper as long as they meet the standards explained in this chapter. Selecting the right paper is very important. Use of unsuitable paper can cause paper jams, misfeed, curling, poor print quality, and even worse, printer damage.
2.1 General Item Values Direction of grain Long grain Pulp content 80 % or more Table 2-1 (Continued) 2.1.3 Minimum and Maximum Paper Sizes The minimum and maximum paper sizes are as follows. For non standard paper such as cut-sheet, the MP (multi-purpose) tray must be used. MP tray 35.6 cm 14 inches 29.7 cm 11-11/16 inches 21 cm 8-1/4 inches Minimum Paper Size 14.8 cm 5-13/16 inches 14.
2.2 Selecting the Right Paper 2.2 Selecting the Right Paper Printer printing is a process involving light, electrostatic discharge, toner, and heat. In addition, as the paper passes through the printer it undergoes considerable sliding, bending, and twisting motions. A high-quality printing paper matching the printer's requirements with-stands all these stresses, enabling the printer to turn out clean, crisp printed copy consistently.

2.2 Selecting the Right Paper U. S. Bond Weight (lb) Europe Metric Weight (g/m²) 28 105 32 120 34 128 36 135 39 148 42 157 43 163 47 176 53 199 Table 2-4 (Continued) Thickness (Caliper) Thick paper is called high-caliper paper and thin paper is called low-caliper paper. Paper used by the printer should be neither too thick nor too thin. If you encounter paper jam, multiple-sheet feed, or too light printing problems, the paper may be too thin.
2.2 Selecting the Right Paper 2.2.3 Other properties of paper Porosity The density of paper structure, which indicates the compactness of the fiber bonding. It is also the characteristic that allows air to pass through paper (i.e., air permeability). Stiffness The ability of paper to resist deformation under stress. In the printer, limp paper can buckle and too stiff paper can bind. Both conditions result in paper jams. Curl Most paper naturally tends to curl one way.
2.3 Loading Paper 2.3 Loading Paper The following explains the procedure for loading paper in the cassette and the MP tray. Fan the media (paper/transparencies), then tap it on a level surface to avoid media jams or skewed printing. Caution Figure 2-2 2.3.1 Loading Paper into the Cassette Perform the following procedure to load paper into the cassette. 1 Pull the paper cassette all the way out of the printer.
2.3 Loading Paper 2 Push the bottom plate down until it locks. Bottom Plate Figure 2-4 Standard paper sizes are attached to the inside of the paper cassette as shown in the following figure.
2.3 Loading Paper 3 Turn the paper size dial so that the size of the paper you are going to use appears in the paper size window. Paper Size Dial Paper Size Window Figure 2-6 Note 4 When the paper size dial is set to OTHER the paper size must be set into the printer on the operator panel. See Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel, section 3.10.4 Setting the Cassette Paper Size on page 3-72. Adjust the position of the paper guides located on the left and right sides of the paper cassette.
2.3 Loading Paper 5 Adjust the position of the paper stopper located at the rear of the paper cassette. Pull the release lever and slide the paper stopper to the desired paper size. When shipped from the factory, the paper cassette is set to A4 size. When using non-standard size paper, move the paper guides and paper stopper all the way out, insert the paper, then adjust the paper guides and paper stopper to the size of the paper. Adjust them so that they are in light contact with the paper.
2.3 Loading Paper Note • Do not load more paper than will fit under the load limits on the paper guides. • The paper cassette will hold approximately 500 sheets of paper with a 80 g/m² (21 lb.) basis weight, or with a thickness of 0.11 mm. Load Limit Load Limit Figure 2-10 7 Set the stack of paper so that it is under the clips as shown.
2.3 Loading Paper 8 Insert the paper cassette into the slot in the printer. Push it straight in as far as it will go. Figure 2-12 There is a paper gauge on the right side of the front of the paper cassette to indicate the remaining paper supply. When paper is exhausted, the pointer will go down to the level of (empty).
2.3 Loading Paper 2.3.2 Loading Paper into the MP (Multi-Purpose) Tray Perform the following procedure to load paper into the MP tray. 1 Pull the MP tray towards you until it stops. MP Tray Figure 2-14 2 Pull out the subtray. Subtray Figure 2-15 3 Adjust the position of the paper guides on the MP tray. Standard paper sizes are attached to the MP tray. For standard paper sizes, slide the guides to the position marked correspondingly.
2.3 Loading Paper 4 Align the paper with the paper guides and insert as far as it will go. Load Limit Load Limit Figure 2-17 Note • Do not load more paper than will fit under the load limits on the inside of the MP tray. • If the paper is considerably curled in one direction, for example, if the paper is already printed on one side, try to roll the paper in the opposite direction to counteract the curl. Printed sheets will then come out flat.
2.4 Special Paper 2.
2.4 Special Paper Transparency Transparencies for overhead projectors must withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process. The recommended transparency product is as follows: 3M CG3700 (Letter, A4) Transparencies must be placed on the MP (multi-purpose) tray with the long edge towards the printer. To avoid problems, stack transparencies face up on the face-up tray. MP Tray Figure 2-18 When unloading transparencies (e.g.
2.4 Special Paper When the label paper has extra margin around the label’s outside edges that correspond to the margins of the printable area, do not remove the extra top sheet from the carrier sheet until printing is finished. Allowed Not allowed Top sheet Carrier sheet Figure 2-20 When selecting labels, make sure to use only those meeting the following requirements: Item Value Top sheet weight 44 to 74 g/m² (12 to 20 lb) Total weight 104 to 151 g/m² (28 to 40 lb) Top sheet thickness 0.
2.4 Special Paper Envelopes Envelopes should be fed in the face-up position, right edge first. Figure 2-22 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. See section Grain on page 2-6. This direction can easily cause wrinkles and creases when envelopes pass through the printer.
2.4 Special Paper Colored paper Colored paper should have the same specifications as the white bond paper listed. In addition, the pigments in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to 200 °C or 392 °F). Pre-printed paper Pre-printed paper should basically be bond paper. The inks on the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process and must not be adversely affected by silicon oil.
2.5 Paper Type 2.5 Paper Type The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting for the type of paper being used. Setting the paper type for the paper source from the printer’s operator panel will cause the printer to automatically select the paper source and print in the mode best suited to that type of paper. A different paper type setting can be made for each paper source including the MP tray.
Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel This chapter provides the information you need to configure the Ecosys Color printer. In general you need to use the operator panel only to make default settings. You can make most changes to the printer settings using the printer driver trough the application software.
