Appendix B Paper Selection B- 1 Appendix B Paper Selection.
General Guidelines B- 2 General Guidelines Although the page printer is designed for printing on standard dry PPC photocopier copy paper (standard paper), it can print on various types of paper that conforms to the specifications given in this chapter.
Appendix B Paper Selection B- 3 Paper Specifications The following table summarizes the basic paper specifications. Details are given on the following pages. Paper Specifications Weight 60 to 90 g/m 2 (16 to 24 lbs./ream) Thickness 0.086 to 0.110 mm (3.
Selecting the Right Paper B- 4 Selecting the Right Paper The following sections explain the basic things to look for when selecting paper. Keep these things in mind when selecting paper. Condition of the Paper Avoid using paper that is folded at the corners, curled, dirty, stained, has fuzzy fibers, rough surface or is easily torn.
Appendix B Paper Selection B- 5 Paper Size Cassettes and the manual feed tray can handle the paper sizes listed in the following table. The printer automatically detects the paper size loaded in a cassette. Paper Sizes for Paper Feeding Paper Size ISO A4 210 x 297 mm ISO A5 148 x 210 mm JIS B5 182 x 257 mm Letter 8.
Selecting the Right Paper B- 6 Basis Weight Basis weight is the weight of one square meter sheet of paper. Paper that is too light or too heavy can cause misfeeding, jams, and premature wear of the printer. Uneven paper weight can cause multiple feeds, print defects, poor toner fusing, blur-ring, and other print quality problems.
Appendix B Paper Selection B- 7 • • Store paper in a dry, well-ventilated location. • • Keep the paper flat and in its wrapping as long as possible. Rewrap paper that is not in use. • • Store paper in its original carton. Place a pallet etc.
Selecting the Right Paper B- 8 Electrostatic properties 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.
Appendix B Paper Selection B- 9 Special Paper This section explains printing on special paper. The page printer can use the following types of special paper.
Special Paper B- 10 Specifications for each type of special paper are given below. Colored Paper Colored paper should meet the same specifications as listed for white bond paper in page B-3. In addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process.
Appendix B Paper Selection B- 11 Postcards Use postcards weighing 90 to 128 g/m 2 . Avoid using postcards whose printing surface has been coated. Any postcards of size 100 mm by 148 mm or larger may be used. Envelopes Envelopes made from paper weighing 60 to 79 g/m 2 may be printed using this printer.
Appendix C Host Computer Interface C- 1 Appendix C Host Computer Interface This appendix describes the signals used in the laser printer’s parallel interface and serial interface (option [IB-10]) . It lists pin assignments, signal functions, timings, connector specificaions, and voltage levels.

Appendix C Host Computer Interface C- 5 Paper Empty [PError] (Pin 12) This signal goes high when the printer runs out of paper. On-Line [Select] (Pin 13) This signal is high when the printer is on-line and low when the printer is off-line.
Parallel Interface C- 6 Auxiliary output 1 (Pin 33) This signal line is not used. Power Ready (Pin 35) This signal is high when the printer’s power is on. Select In [NSelectIn] (Pin 36) This signal is used in some versions of the Centronics interface to enable the computer to force the printer on-line.
Appendix C Host Computer Interface C- 7 Serial ( RS-232C/RS-422A ) Interface (Option) Mounting the optional serial interface kit (IB-10) to the printer enables connection to a computer with a RS-232C or RS-422A standard serial interface.
Serial (RS-232C/RS-422A) Interface (Option) C- 8 TXD – Transmit Data – (Pin 2) This output carries asynchronous data sent by the printer to the computer. It is used mainly in handshaking protocols. RXD – Receive Data – (Pin 3) This input carries serial asynchronous data sent by the computer to the printer.
Appendix C Host Computer Interface C- 9 RS-422A interface The serial interface was set to RS-232C mode before leaving the factory. However, by changing the jumper connector on the IB-10 interface board, the interface can be changed to RS-422A mode.
Serial (RS-232C/RS-422A) Interface (Option) C- 10 Overview of Signals (RS-422A) FG – Frame Ground – (Pin 1) This pin is connected directly to the printer frame. SG – Signal Ground – (Pin 7) All signals can transmit between the printer and the host computer to send each signals with a signal ground.
Appendix C Host Computer Interface C- 11 RS-232C/RS-422A Protocol A protocol is a set of rules the computer follows in sending data to the printer. The RS-232C/RS-422A parameters are stored in battery backed-up memory. They are indicated on the status printout.
