About Paper Types That Can be Loaded and Storage Methods

Available paper types

To perform high-quality printing, be sure to use the supported paper types that satisfy requirements, such as material, weight, or paper surface finishing. Use digital photo print paper.

If you print on paper that is not recommended by Oki Data, check the print quality and the movement of the paper thoroughly in advance to ensure that there are no problems.

Recommended paper

The machine supports a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights and sizes. This section describes how to choose and use media. To obtain the best performance, use 75 to 90 g/m2 plain paper that is designed for use in copiers and laser printers. Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended. Pre-printed stationery can be used, but the ink must not offset when exposed to the high fuser temperatures used in the printing process.

  • Envelopes

    Envelopes must be free from twists, curls or other deformations. The envelopes must also be of the rectangular flap type, with glue that remains intact when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing in the machine. Window envelopes are not suitable.

  • Labels

    Labels must be of the type recommended for use in copiers and laser printers, in which the base carrier page is entirely covered by labels. Other types of label stocks may damage the machine due to the labels peeling off during the printing process.

Paper storage

Store paper under the following conditions to maintain quality.

  • Inside a cabinet or other dry and dark place

  • On a flat surface

  • Temperature: 20℃

  • Humidity: 50% RH (relative humidity)

Do not store paper in the places as shown below:

  • Directly on the floor

  • Where paper is exposed to direct sunlight

  • Near the inside of an exterior wall

  • On an uneven surface

  • Where static electricity may be generated

  • Where temperature excessively rises high and temperature rapidly changes

  • Near this machine, an air conditioner, a heater, or duct

Note

  • Do not unwrap paper until just before you use.

  • Do not leave paper unwrapped for a long period. Doing so may result in printing problems.
