• that is damaged, creased or folded

• that exceeds the recommended weight specification in this guide

• with tabs and staples

• with letterheads using low temperature dyes or thermography

Use the Carbon Copy function to make multiple copies of the same print data, as if printing on carbon paper.
Send the data to individual paper trays that you pre-loaded with different paper types or colours.

For example, you may want to set the machine to send your print data to Tray1, which you have pre-loaded with
blue coloured paper, and then reprint the data in a certain location on the page from the MP Tray, which you
have pre-loaded with yellow coloured paper that already contains text.

If you load blue paper in Tray 1 and yellow paper in the MP tray, the printer will automatically feed paper for
Sheet 1 from Tray 1 and Sheet 2 from the MP Tray.

If you enable the Carbon Copy function, the machine will always make copies automatically.
