Settings and Printing Maintenance Specifications

The printer is designed to work well with most types of paper. However, differences in paper may

have significant effects on the quality of the print or the reliability of paper handling.

It is strongly recommended that you always test paper before purchasing it to make sure it provides

desirable performance.

BRecommended paper (for optimum performance):

LETTER/LEGAL : Hammermill LASERPRINT 90 g/m2(24 lbs.)

A4 : 4CC 80 g/m2

*1Optional 2nd cassette feeder with ADU must be installed in your printer.

BExtremely smooth or shiny paper or paper that is highly textured

BLetterhead imprinted with low temperature or thermography. These materials may transfer onto the

fuser unit’s roller and cause damage. Any pre-printed paper should use inks compatible with 200°C

(392°F) for 0.1 second.

BDamaged or wrinkled paper, or paper with irregularities such as tabs, staples, etc.

BMultipart forms or carbonless paper

BPaper with a 25% or more cotton and/or fiber content

BInk jet media (paper, transparency, etc.)

(It may transfer onto the fuser unit’s roller and cause damage.)

Types of Paper to Avoid

Auto duplex printing*175 to 90 g/m2(20 to 24 lbs.)

Manual duplex printing

Manual duplex printing is possible by using the multi-purpose tray. Automatic duplex printing is

possible by installing the optional 2nd cassette feeder with ADU. However, you should not expect the

same print quality and reliability that you get with single-sided printing. We strongly recommend that

you follow the guidelines below.

Notes for manual duplex printing:

BDo not load more than 50 sheets in the multi-purpose tray.

BBefore loading paper in the multi-purpose tray, adjust it so that the edges of the media are lightly

touching the media guides of the multi-purpose tray.

BUse the multi-purpose tray for second side printing.

Notes for manual / automatic duplex printing:

BIt is strongly suggested to use color laser bond paper.

BBefore printing on the first side, set the unprintable area [at least 15 mm (0.59″) in length] on the top

of paper (see below).

BWhen printing on the first side, avoid printing photograph or graphic in solid color to prevent

paper jamming. It may cause a damage to the printer.

You may also print on transparencies and labels that are made for the printer. Panasonic has tested

and found that the following work satisfactorily.

BRe-using transparencies that have been fed through the printer once (for example, after jams or

if the transparency is ejected without being printed) can reduce the life of the consumables and

paper path components.

BWith any label stock, the labels must completely cover the backing material.

Labels cover the entire backing material.

YES

The backing material is exposed.

Settings and Printing Maintenance Specifications

It is recommended that you print in black text only and purchase high quality #10 or larger laser

envelopes with diagonal seams, as shown in the diagram below:

High quality envelopes have the following characteristics:

BA thin, sharply creased leading edge

BPaper weight of 90 g/m2(24 lbs.)

BFlat, free of curls, wrinkles, nicks, etc.

NOTES

BWrinkle may occur in some case, even if high quality envelopes are used.

BWhen a wrinkle occurs, try printing with the flap inserted inside the envelope as shown in figure.

It is not recommended that you use envelopes with any of the following characteristics (using these

may result in paper jams):

BIrregularly shaped envelopes

BEnvelopes with curls, wrinkles, nicks, twists, dog-ears or other damage

BEnvelopes with side seam construction

BHighly textured envelopes, or with extremely shiny surfaces

BEnvelopes that seal by removing a peel-off strip

BEnvelopes with more than one flap to be sealed

BSelf-adhesive envelopes

BEnvelopes that are baggy or not sharply creased

BEmbossed envelopes

Do not attempt to print on any of the following types of envelopes. These may cause damage to your

printer.

BEnvelopes with clasps, snaps or tie strings (see Figure 1)

BEnvelopes with transparent windows (see Figure 2)

BEnvelopes that will melt, discolor, scorch offset or release hazardous emissions when exposed to

200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second

BEnvelopes that use encapsulated types of adhesive that do not require moistening but rely on

pressure to seal them
