-
Paper other than plain paper, such as transparencies and colored paper, is called special paper. When loading special paper into the paper tray, specify the correct paper type. Otherwise, it may result in a paper jam or image error.
-
For paper weight and media adjustment settings, contact your service representative.
-
When printing on the reverse side of a sheet printed on one side, load paper into the Bypass Tray, and select [Duplex2nd Side] in the paper setting, improving a reduction of the printing image quality. [Duplex2nd Side] is available when plain paper, plain paper+, Thick 1, Thick 1+, Thick 2, Thick 3, or Thick 4 is selected to be printed from the Bypass Tray.
-
If thin paper, Thick 3, or Thick 4 is selected for printing, the resulting image quality may not be as expected.
-
Do not use thin paper of A5 (5-1/2 8-1/2) size or smaller.
-
When loading Thick 4 in the paper tray, place A4 or 8-1/2 11 in the 
direction, and A3 or 11 17 in the 
direction.
-
When loading transparencies into the paper tray, place them in the direction.
-
The optional Banner Paper Loading Guide is required to use banner paper for printing.
Inapplicable paper
Do not load the following paper into the tray. Not observing these precautions may lead to reduced print quality, a paper jam or damage to the machine.
-
Transparencies that have already been fed through the machine (even if they are still blank)
-
Paper that has been printed on with a heat-transfer printer or an inkjet printer
-
Folded, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper
-
Paper that has been left unwrapped for a long period of time.
Paper storage
Store paper in a cool, dark location with little humidity. If paper contains moisture, a paper jam may occur.
Store the paper flat, not on its edge. Curled paper may cause a paper jam.
