• When loading paper in trays 1 4 or Tray 3 (LCT), place the print side face up. When loading paper
in the bypass tray or large capacity tray (LCT), place the print side face down.
• When using translucent paper or label paper, make sure to select the appropriate paper type under
Paper Type: Bypass Tray. See “System Settings”, Network and System Settings Reference .
• When you use the bypass tray, it is recommended to set the paper direction to .
• Certain types of paper produce noise when delivered. This noise does not indicate a problem and
print quality is unaffected. (Glossy paper and OHP transparencies can produce noise when
delivered.)
• When you load OHP transparencies, check the front and back of the sheets, and place them correctly,
or a misfeed might occur. For details, see Copy and Document Server Reference , and Printer
Reference .
• When you use OHP transparencies, fan them for each use.
• We recommend that you use a 4000 ANSI lumen or brighter overhead projector to project OHP
transparencies.
• When copying or printing onto OHP transparencies, the copy/print speed is slower than usual.
• When copying or printing onto thick paper of 106 300 g/m2 (28 lb. Bond 110 lb. Cover), the
copy/print speed is slower than usual.
• When copying or printing onto prepunched paper, the copy/print speed is slower than usual.
• Flatten out curled sheets before loading them.
• If multiple sheet feeding occurs, load sheets one by one.

• To print on coated paper from the bypass tray, trays 2 4, Tray 3 (LCT), or the large capacity tray
(LCT): select System Settings, [Tray Paper Settings], and then, for each tray's [Paper Type] be sure to
set [Paper Type] to [Coated Paper], and [Paper Thickness] to [Thick Paper 1].
• To print on high-gloss coated paper from the bypass tray, paper trays, Tray 3 (LCT), or the large
capacity tray (LCT): select System Settings, [Tray Paper Settings], and then, for each tray's [Paper
Type], be sure to set [Paper Type] to [Coated Paper: Gloss].
• Before loading coated or glossy sheets, be sure to fan them thoroughly. If sheets feed in together,
become jammed, or produce strange noises when delivered, load them one by one from the bypass
tray.
• When copying or printing onto letterhead paper, the paper placing orientation is different depending
on which function you are using. See “Loading Orientation-Fixed Paper or Two-Sided Paper”.
• If you load paper of the same size in two or more trays, the machine automatically shifts to the other
tray when the first tray in use runs out of paper. This function is called Auto Tray Switching. (However,
if the paper type of one tray is recycled or special paper, the settings of the other trays must be the
same for the Auto Tray Switching function to work.) This saves interrupting a copy run to replenish
paper when making a large number of copies. You can set the paper type of the paper trays under
Paper Type: Tray 1 4 and Paper Type: LCT. See “System Settings”, Network and System Settings
Reference . For the setting procedure of the Auto Tray Switching function, see “Copier and
Document Server Features”, Copy and Document Server Reference .

Envelopes
This section gives you various details about and recommendations concerning envelopes.
• Misfeeds might occur depending on the length and shape of the flaps.
• Do not use window envelopes.
• Only envelopes that are at least 148 mm wide and whose flaps are open can be loaded in the
orientation.
• When loading envelopes in the orientation, load them with flaps fully open. Otherwise, they might
not feed into the machine.
To print on envelopes, load them on the bypass tray, in trays 2 4, or in the small size paper tray, and be
sure to specify the appropriate paper type. For details about how to load envelopes in trays 2 4, see
“Changing the Paper Size in Trays 2 4”. For details about how to load envelopes in the small size paper
tray, see “Changing the Paper Size in the Small Size Paper Tray”. For details about how to copy onto
envelopes, see “Copying onto Envelopes from the Bypass Tray” and “Copying onto Envelopes from the
Small Size Paper Tray”, Copy and Document Server Reference . For details about how to print onto
envelopes, see “Setting Envelopes Using the Control Panel”, Printer Reference .
Specifications for envelopes are as follows:
• Weight: 82 120 g/m2 (20 32 lb. Bond)
• Paper Size: 41/8 × 91/2, 37/8 × 71/2, C5 Env , C6 Env , DL Env
• When loading envelopes on the bypass tray, place them address side facing down. When loading
envelopes in trays 2 4 or the small paper tray, place them address side facing up.
• The size of envelopes that you can load depends on a tray. For details, see “Recommended Paper
Sizes and Types”.
• Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.
• Before loading envelopes, press down on them to remove any air from inside, flatten out all four
edges. If they are bent or curled, flatten their leading edges (the edge going into the machine) by
running a pencil or ruler across them.
• Fan the envelopes before loading them to separate them and prevent the glue on them from causing
them to stick together.
• 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.
• High temperature and high humidity conditions can reduce print quality and cause envelopes to
become creased.

Thick Paper
This section gives you various details about and recommendations concerning thick paper.
When loading thick paper of 170 256 g/m2 (65 lb. Cover 140 lb. Index) in trays 1 4, the small size
paper tray, or Tray 3 (LCT), 170 217 g/m2 (65 80 lb. Cover) in the large capacity tray (LCT), or 170
300 g/m2 (65 110 lb. Cover) in the bypass tray, follow the recommendations below to prevent misfeeds
and loss of image quality.
• Store all your paper in the same environment - a room where the temperature is 20 25°C (68 77°
F) and the humidity is 30 65%.
• When loading thick sheets in trays 1 4 or the small size paper tray, be sure to load at least 20 sheets.
Also, be sure to position the side fences flush against the paper stack.
• Smooth out any curls in the paper before loading it.
• Jams and misfeeds can occur when printing on thick glossy sheets. To prevent such problems, be sure
to fan glossy sheets thoroughly before loading them. If sheets continue to become jammed or feed in
together even after they are fanned, load them one by one from the bypass tray.
• When loading thick paper, set the paper direction according to its grain, as shown in the following
diagram:
