This section describes printing onto special paper and print media.
The following paper and media can be used.

• Prepunched paper
• Envelopes

When using these paper and media, choose those that are designed specifically for copiers or page printers
(such as laser printers). Use the multi purpose tray for transparencies, thick paper, envelopes, cardstocks, and
label paper.
Choosing Special Paper
Although special paper that meets the following requirements can be used with the machine, print quality will
vary considerably due to differences in the construction and quality of special paper. Thus, special paper is more
likely than regular paper to cause printing problems. Before purchasing special paper in volume, try testing a
sample to ensure the print quality is satisfactory. General precautions when printing onto special paper are given
below. Note that we are not responsible for any harm to the user or damage to the machine caused by moisture
or specifications of special paper.
Select a cassette or multi purpose tray for special paper.
Transparencies
Transparencies must be able to withstand the heat of printing. Transparencies must meet the following
conditions.
To avoid problems, use the multi purpose tray for transparencies and load transparencies with the long side
facing the machine.
If transparencies jam frequently at output, try pulling the leading edge of sheets gently as they are ejected.
Heat resistance Must withstand at least 190°C
Thickness 0.100 to 0.110 mm
Material Polyester
Dimensional accuracy ±0.7 mm
Squareness of corners 90° ±0.2°
