*2 The actual number of output sheets varies according to the established environment. *3 The face-down tray can be set as the standard output destination but because this could

cause the paper to curl or crease, we recommend the face-up tray.

● Thick paper

Paper which is 106-163 g/m2 can be used with this printer. Always load paper of this thickness into the paper tray.

● When you want to print on thick paper, always select [ ] from the [] sheet of the printer driver and then select [ ( ) ].

●Transparencies

It can be difficult to separate transparencies from each other. Pick them up one at a time and by all four sides, and then load them into the paper tray.

● When printing face up on transparencies, remove the transparencies one at a time as they come out.

●When you want to print on transparencies, always select [ ] from the [ ] sheet of the printer driver and then select [ ( ) ].

●Label sheet

Check that the label sheet is face up when you load it into the paper tray.
