Paper and Other Media
Paper Recommendations
Loading Paper
❒ Do not use ink-jet printer paper because it may stick to the fusing unit and
cause a paper misfeed.
❒ When printing on OHP transparencies that have a print side, load them with
the print side over on the bypass tray. Not taking this precaution may cause
them to stick to the fusing unit and cause misfeeds.
❒ Set the paper as described below.
• Tray 1: Print side facing down
• Bypass Tray: Print side facing up
• Paper Feed Unit (Tray 2, Tray 3): Print side facing down
❒ Print quality cannot be guaranteed if paper other than the ones recommended
is used. For more information about recommended paper, contact your sales
or service representative.
❒ Do not use paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.
Storing Paper
• Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might result
in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommendations
are as follows:
• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.
• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.
• Store on a flat surface.
• Keep paper in the package in which the paper came.

Both-sided printing Not possible
Additional cautions • Check the print side is facing up.
• Check there is no air in the envelopes before loading.
• For better print quality, we recommend the right, left, top, and
bottom print margins to be at least 20 mm (0.8”) each.
• Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.
• Before loading envelopes, flatten their leading edges (the edge
going into the printer) by running a pencil or ruler across them.
• Some kinds of envelope might cause misfeeds, wrinkles or
print poorly.
• Print quality on envelopes may be uneven if parts of an envelope have differing thicknesses. Print one or two envelopes to
check print quality.

Loading Paper
This describes how to load paper into the paper tray and bypass tray.
• Do not pull out the paper tray forcefully. If you do, the tray might fall and
cause an injury.
Loading Paper in Tray 1 and the optional paper feed unit
The following example explains loading procedure for the standard paper tray
(Tray 1). The same procedure can be used for the optional paper feed unit.
❒ Make sure paper is not stacked above the limit mark inside the tray. Misfeeds
might occur.
❒ Do not put different types of paper in a single paper tray.
❒ Up to 500 sheets of paper can be loaded in the paper feed unit. This means
a maximum of 1,600 sheets can be simultaneously loaded when two additional paper feed units are installed.
A Lift the paper tray slightly, and then pull it out until it stops.
B Lift the front side of the tray, and then pull it out of the printer.
16
Paper and Other Media
C Load paper into the tray with the print side down.
❒ Confirm that the top of the stack is not higher than the limit mark inside the
tray.
❒ Confirm that paper fits under the rear guide.
D Lift the front of the tray, and then slide it carefully into the printer until it
stops.
❒ Do not slide the paper tray in with force. If you do, the front and side guides
might move.
For more information about type, size and feed direction of paper that can
be loaded in the tray, see p.5 “
Printer”.
When you change the paper size see p.18 “
Paper and Other Media Supported by This
Changing the paper size”.
17
Paper and Other Media
Changing the paper size
❒ Confirm that the setting of the paper size dial matches the paper size and feed
direction of the paper in the tray, otherwise the printer might be damaged, or
printing problems might occur.
The following explanation uses the example of “Tray 1” for the paper tray.
A Lift the paper tray slightly, and then pull it out until it stops. Adjust the
paper size dial to match the size and feed direction of paper in the paper
tray.
❒ If you want to use the paper size and feed direction that are not indicated
on the paper size dial, set the dial to “p”. In this case, you should set the
paper size using the control panel.
B Lift the front side of the tray, and then pull it out of the printer.
C If you load paper larger than A4K or 8
tray as follows:
❒ You cannot load paper smaller than A4K or 81/2 × 11K, if the tray is ex-
tended. In this case, return the tray to its standard length.

/2 × 11K, you should extend the
18
Paper and Other Media
D Slide the catches inwards to unlock the tray.
E Slide the tray until it stops.
F Return the catches to their original positions.
❒ Confirm that the catches return to their original positions securely. If they
are not locked securely, paper misfeeds might occur.
19
Paper and Other Media
G Adjust the rear and side guides to the paper size you want to load.
❒ To avoid damage, pinch the paper guides when moving them.
H Load paper into the tray with the print side down.
❒ Confirm that the top of the stack is not higher than the limit mark inside the
tray.
❒ Confirm that paper fits under the rear guide.
I Lift the front side of the tray, and then place it into the printer. Carefully
slide it into the printer until it stops.
20
Paper and Other Media
❒ Do not slide the paper tray in with force. If you do, the front and side guides
might move.
J Attach the paper tray cover provided when you have pulled out the tray
extension.
❒ The paper tray cover contains four mounting holes.
• Use the two outer holes when attaching the paper tray cover as a cover
for the standard tray.
• Use the two inner holes when attaching the paper tray cover as a cover
for an additional tray.

ed using the control panel. Do not make settings using the control panel if you
have already made settings using the printer driver. However, when printing
with a printer driver other than the RPCS printer driver, you must configure the
settings using control panel.
