Coating Functions
The Coating functions enable you to coat the paper that already has printing on it
(preprinted paper) with the clear toner. You can coat the full surface or certain
section of preprinted paper. For these functions, each toner (black, cyan, magenta,
or yellow) is not used, only the clear toner is used for coating.
■Clear Coat Entire Page
This mode enables you to coat the full surface of preprinted paper. For details, see
"Coating Full Surface of Preprinted Paper (Clear Coat Entire Page)," on p. 2-2.

Selecting Preprinted Paper (Paper Select)
IMPORTANT
• When coating special types of paper, such as heavy paper or transparencies, be sure to
correctly set the paper type, especially if you are using heavy paper. If the type of paper
is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing
unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.
• Make sure to load the same sized preprinted paper. You cannot use different sized
sheets of preprinted paper together.
NOTE
• If you select [Transparency] or [Labels], make sure that you do not specify any Finishing
modes (Collate or Staple).
• If Stack Bypass Standard Settings in Common Settings (from the Additional Functions
screen) is set to 'On', and the paper size/type have been stored, the selected paper size/
type are displayed on the screen. (See Chapter 4, "Customizing Settings," in the
Reference Guide.)
• For instructions on loading preprinted paper into the stack bypass, see Chapter 2, "Basic
Operations," in the Reference Guide.
• For more information on paper types, see Chapter 2, "Basic Operations," in the
Reference Guide.
• For instructions on entering values in inches, see Chapter 2, "Basic Operations," in the
