Paper Recommendations
This section describes loading and storing paper, details of each type of paper, and the printable area.
Configure the settings depending on the type of paper you are using.
• Print quality cannot always be guaranteed for all types of paper that are sold at stores.
Loading Paper
• Do not use ink-jet printer paper because it may stick to the fusing unit and cause a paper misfeed.
• Do not reuse paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.
• When printing on OHP transparencies that have a print side, load them on the 2000-sheet paper
feed unit with the print side up. Not doing so may cause them to stick to the fusing unit and cause
misfeeds.
Set paper as follows:
• Tray 1, tray 2: print side facing down
• Bypass tray: print side facing down
• Paper feed unit: print side facing up
Storing Paper
Take care when storing paper. 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 its original package until time to use it.

• If envelopes are curled when they are output,
straighten them by rubbing.
• Depending on the printing environment, envelopes may be output with the edges wrinkled, with toner marks on the back, or blurred.

• Do not use the following types of paper:
• Ink-jet printer paper
• GelJet special paper
• Bent, folded, or creased paper
• Curled or twisted paper
• Wet paper
• Paper that is dry enough to emit static electricity
• Paper that has already been printed on
Misprints are especially likely when using paper printed on by printers other than a laser printer
(e.g. monochrome and color copiers, ink-jet printers, etc.) Refrain from printing on the side on
which nothing is printed.
• Surface-processed paper (excluding specified paper)
Paper Recommendations
• Special paper, such as thermal paper and carbon paper
• Paper whose weight is heavier or lighter than the limitation
• Perforated paper
• Adhesive label paper on which glue or base paper is exposed
