Appendix B Paper Specifications Media Guidelines Several types of media can be used in the printer, provided they meet certain guidelines. This appendix provides criteria for purchasing print media. You will also find guidelines for printing on special print media. General Media Recommendations Use high-quality xerographic paper for printing applications. The paper should be of good quality, free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges.
Paper Specifications Table B-1. Paper Specifications Characteristics Paper Grade Test Method (refer to note 1) Recommendation No. 1 or No. 4 Xerographic (Note 1) Fiber Composition 100% chemical wood pulp Color White or pastel color Ash Content T413. ISO 2144 (refer to Note 2 and 4) 18% maximum Filler Kaolin or china clay (aluminosilicate) or calcium carbonate (Calcium carbonate to be less than 5%). Titanium dioxide or magnesium silicate may be added to improve brightness.
Paper Weight Paper weight (also referred to as basis weight) for the U.S. market is measured as the weight in pounds of a ream of paper in the basic size for that grade of paper. The basic size differs between the various grades of paper. For cross reference information of basis weight for different paper types, see the table below. Using the metric system, basis weight is measured as the weight of one square meter of paper and is expressed in grams per square meter or g/m2.
Paper Composition Use paper made from 100% chemical wood pulp. Paper that contains mechanicallypulped wood or cotton is not recommended due to natural impurities, such as CaCO3, that can contaminate the surface of the photoconductor, thereby decreasing the life of the photoconductor and/or the fuser. Do not use coated paper containing material that will melt, vaporize, offset, discolor, or release hazardous emissions when exposed to high temperatures.
Moisture Moisture affects both paper curl and print quality. Excessive moisture can cause the following things: ■ Wavy edges ■ Tight edges ■ Paper curl ■ Faded printing An increase in humidity can cause paper to develop wavy edges. This occurs because the edges absorb moisture while the rest of the ream remains unaffected. This can cause paper skewing and inability to pick paper. Wave is measured as shown below. Do not use paper with a wave of more than 2 mm. Less than 2 mm Figure B-2.
Paper Curl Paper curl is a very significant factor in printer performance. It can affect the printer in the following ways: ■ Paper jam, paper skew and ability to be picked up ■ Paper stacking uniformly in the output stacker ■ Paper wrinkles through the heat roller (fuser). Nearly all paper has curl or a tendency to curl. Curl can occur after the paper passes through the printer’s fuser where it is exposed to high temperatures.
Recycled Paper Recycled paper is made from used paper. The used paper is dissolved into fibers and then mixed with new paper fibers. However, various kinds of low-grade used paper (such as newspapers and magazines) are added to high-grade old paper. The paper manufacturer must have a high level of expertise and exercise strict controls regarding the use of used paper in recycled paper production.
Special Media The printer can use special media that has been designed and treated for xerographic use. ■ Preprinted paper ■ Prepunched paper ■ Index paper ■ Adhesive labels ■ Perforated paper It is recommended that a small sample (500 to 1000 sheets) of the special paper be tested before production quantities are purchased.
Ink Recommendations Ink used in preprinting should be non-volatile and oily. Ink suitable for pre-printing is cured by: ■ Ultraviolet or heat (cured for 1 day) ■ Oxidative polymerization (cured for 7 days) ■ Ink cured by heat (Tinplate Ink) Before using preprinted forms, make sure the ink is completely cured to prevent it from transferring to the printer’s rollers and contaminating the internal printer mechanism.
Prepunched Paper Prepunched paper should be flat and without deformation. Do not use paper with ragged or damaged hole edges. Any paper pieces resulting from the punching operation and paper dust should be removed before using. Use prepunched paper with holes that conform to the following specifications: ■ Maximum of four holes. ■ Maximum hole diameter of 8.0 mm (0.315 in.). ■ Holes must not be located in or protrude into the shaded area shown below.
(b) Face Up stacking in simplex print and Face Down stacking in duplex print Feed Direction Front Side Edge This area is no concern with A4, B5, Letter, Legal and Custom size of paper. Holes may be available in this area when face up stacking. Unit : mm Figure B-6.
Adhesive Labels An adhesive label is paper with a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing. Label stock consists of three components: the top or face sheet, the adhesive, and the liner or carrier sheet, sometimes referred to as the backing. Note the following points about label stock: ■ When exposed to the heat of the fuser, the label stock should not curl significantly, and the adhesive should remain stable so that it does not release any hazardous emissions.
Adhesive Label Configuration The illustration on the left shows label stock with space between the individual labels. This can cause paper jams and/or labels to peel off during the printing process. The illustration on the center shows label stock without spaces, but each labels has rounded corner. This can also cause paper jams and /or labels to peel off. The illustration on the right shows the recommended label stock without spaces between the individual labels, and each labels has no rounded corner.
Adhesive Label Specifications Use the following specifications when purchasing label stock. Table B-3. Adhesive Label Specifications Characteristics Recommendation Total Basis Weight Notes 2 and 4 42 lb (158 g/m2) (includes face sheet, adhesive, and carrier) Caliper Notes 1, 2, and 4 5.7 mils (145 µm) maximum (includes face sheet, adhesive, and carrier) Face Stock Smoothness (Sheffield) Notes 1, 2, and 3 100-200 Sheffield units Coefficient of Static Friction 0.35 to 0.
Perforated Paper A perforation is a series of holes punched through the paper to aid in the separation of one piece from another. Perforated paper can cause jams, misfeeds, and even printer damage. The following guidelines should be used when ordering perforated paper: ■ Perforations should be free from any burrs and paper dust to avoid multiple feed, contamination, or paper jam problems. ■ Avoid use of perforations that are not flat. Not Recommended Figure B-8.
■ Do not print within a 4 mm area around the perforations. 4 mm (0.16 in) 4 mm (0.16 in) Figure B-11.
Printing Guidelines Printable Area Printable area means the area of the page on which you can print. Print quality can degrade when printing outside the following print area: ■ The printable area is 5 mm (0.2 in) from the top, 8 mm (0.31 in) from the bottom, and 5 mm (0.2 in) from the left and right sides of the paper. ■ The printable area is 3 mm (0.12 in) from the edge of any punched holes to minimize printer contamination. ■ The printable area is marked with diagonal lines. 5 mm (0.2 in) 5 mm (0.
Preprinted Lines When using a form with preprinted lines the text must be placed a minimum of 2 mm (0.08 in) away from the lines. 2 mm (0.08 in) 2 mm (0.08 in) Line 2 mm (0.08 in) ......WXYZ ABCDEF.....
