KYOCERA C5025N User Manual

grain paper can cause feeding problems in the machine. All paper used in 
the machine should be long grain.

Porosity: Indicates the density of paper fiber.

Stiffness: Limp paper may buckle in the machine, resulting in paper jams.

Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl one way if left unpacked. When 
paper passes through the fixing unit, it curls upward a little. To produce flat 
printouts, load the paper so that the upward pressure from the machine 
can correct their curling.

Electrostatic discharge: 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.

Whiteness: The contrast of the printed page depends on the whiteness of 
the paper. Whiter paper provides a sharper, brighter appearance.

Quality control: Uneven sheet size, corners that are not square, ragged 
edges, welded (uncut) sheets, and crushed edges and corners can cause 
the machine to malfunction in various ways. A quality paper supplier 
should take considerable care to ensure that these problems do not occur.

Packaging: Paper should be packed in a sturdy carton to protect it from 
damage during transport. Quality paper obtained from a reputable supplier 
is usually correctly packaged.

The following types of special paper can be used:

Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heat-
fusing type). When using transparencies, labels, thin paper, envelopes, 
postcards, or thick paper, feed the paper from the MP Tray.
