Paper Recommendations

Loading Paper
Important
❒ 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.

• 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.

This describes how to load paper into
the paper tray and bypass tray.
CAUTION:
• 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.
Important
❒ 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.
