Overview of [Paper Setting]

The [Paper Setting] offers two types of usage depending on what the setting is intended for.

One is the [Paper Setting] that allows you to set paper conditions to a paper tray.

The other is the [Paper Setting] that allows you to register paper conditions according to paper to be used.

This section describes how to make the [Paper Setting] for a paper tray. It also describes how to register set paper conditions.

  • While a job is running, you can change [Paper Setting] for the trays that are not used in the job. However, the paper conditions cannot be changed when the key is dimmed.

The [Paper Setting] can be made for the following trays:

  • Main Body Trays (trays 1 and 2)

  • Trays of Paper Feeder Unit PF-602m (trays 3 and 4)

  • Trays of Paper Feeder Unit PF-707 (trays 3 to 5)

  • Large Capacity Unit LU-202 (tray 3)

  • Multi Bypass Tray MB-506

  • Banner Tray Unit MK-740 (Select the [Bypass] and set it)

  • Upper tray/lower tray of the post inserter of Folding Unit FD-503 (PI 1, PI 2)

  • Upper tray/lower tray of Post Inserter PI-502 to be mounted on Finisher FS-531, Finisher FS-612, or Finisher FS-532 (PI1, PI2)

  • Cover tray of Perfect Binder PB-503 (PB)

[Paper Setting] for the tray to be used consists of the following paper conditions that can be specified as desired. Depending on the paper setting, the key for the options may be dimmed and cannot be selected.

[Paper Type]

The following seven paper types are provided according to the plainness of paper.

For details about Paper Type, refer to Paper Type Descriptions.

[Plain], [Fine], [Color Specific], [Coated-GL], [Coated-ML], [Coated-GO], [Coated-MO]

[Profile Name]

Perfect Binder PB-503 PB tray: 81 g/m2 to 216 g/m2 / 22 lb Bond to 57 lb Bond

When the machine is mounted with Perfect Binder PB-503, the paper weight information for the upper/lower tray of post inserter mounted on Folding Unit FD-503 should be set within the range of 81 g/m2 to 216 g/m2 or 22 lb Bond to 57 lb Bond in order to comply with the specifications for perfect binding covers. When the machine is not mounted with Perfect Binder PB-503, the paper weight is not set in the paper setting. But the paper of 50 g/m2 to 300 g/m2 / 13 lb Bond to 81 lb Bond can be loaded.

The paper weight information for the upper/lower tray of Post Inserter PI-502 is not set in the paper setting. But the paper of 50 g/m2 to 200 g/m2 / 13 lb Bond to 53 lb Bond can be loaded.

[Colored Paper]

Specify the color of paper. This setting easily gives the color information of paper loaded in the tray.

[White], [Blue], [Goldenrod], [Gray], [Green], [Ivory], [Orange], [Pink], [Red], [Yellow], [Cream], [Others], [User Color]

[Punch]

Specify whether or not the paper is punched. The paper specified as punched cannot be punched even if [Punch] is selected in [Output Setting].

[Both Sides Adj.]

Adjusts [Zoom] ratios ([Vertical], [Horizontal]) and [Image Shift] amounts ([Up/Down], [Right/Left]) for both [Front] and [Back] pages in order to align the images printed on front and back pages in 2-sided printing. Also, [Gap],[Scan Meas.] or [Chart Adjustment] can be used for adjustment. (For bizhub PRESS C1070P / bizhub PRESS C71hc, [Scan Meas.] cannot be used for adjustment.)

It is advisable to perform Both Sides Adjust for every paper to be used, as the shrinkage ratio differs according to the paper type, paper brand, or difference in temperature of storage location.

It is possible to disable the horizontal zoom setting for the back page in [Common Setting] of the administrator setting.

This option also allows you to adjust the registration loop before using the Both Sides Adjust function.
