Light-weight media is media with a weight less than 50 g/m². You must handle light-weight media with extra care because light-weight media can be damaged very easily. Even minor irregularities of the light-weight media will lead to a significant reduced reliability and runability. Discard damaged sheets.
The stiffness of light-weight media is very low. To load light-weight media you must know the grain direction.
The allowed light-weight media is given in the acceptable paper list. Contact your local authorized dealer for the latest version.
To print light-weight media the optional light-weight media module must be installed.
When you print a job that contains media with a weight less than 60 g/m², the system informs you that you must switch to [Low temperature mode], when the system is not in this mode.
When you print a job that contains media with a weight more than 85 g/m², the system informs you that you must switch to normal temperature mode, when the system is not in this mode.
When you print a job that contains media with mixed media weights, the system informs you that you must switch to the temperature mode indicated in the table below, when the system is not in this mode.
