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, Tray 2: Print side facing up

•Bypass Tray: Print side facing down

•Paper Feed Unit (Option): 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.

Paper and Other Media

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 15 mm (0.6”) each.
	•	Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.

•When loading envelopes, be sure to unfold the flaps and position them opposite to the paper feed direction.

•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.

DApprox. 4.2 mm (0.17 inches)

Print area may vary depending on paper size, printer language, and printer driver settings.

If you load paper larger than A3L in the bypass tray, hold it steady so it feeds properly. Paper feed accuracy and print quality may vary according to paper thickness and width. Do a test print to check the paper you want to use gives satisfactory results.

The maximum length of the print area is 457 mm (18”) in the paper feed direction (at 1200×1200 dpi). If paper exceeding 457 mm (18”) in the paper feed direction is used, the machine may not print properly.

Loading Paper in the Bypass Tray

Besides plain paper, you can use the bypass tray to load thick paper, envelopes, OHP transparencies, paper longer than A3L, and paper that cannot be loaded in the paper trays or paper feed unit.

•Set the size and direction of the loaded paper on the control panel or with the printer driver. Make sure the settings do not conflict. Otherwise, the paper may jam or the print quality may be affected.

The bypass tray can accommodate sheets 90-305 mm(3.5”-12.01”) wide and

148-457 mm(5.8”-18”) long. However, the paper size must be set using the control panel. When using the RPCSTM printer driver, sheets of up to 1260 mm(49.61”) in length can be set.

If you load custom size paper or special paper, select the paper size using the control panel. The RPCSTM printer driver can select the paper size using the printer driver properties. The paper size selected using the printer driver overrides that selected using the control panel. See p.31 “Specifying custom size paper for the Bypass Tray”.

If you load thick paper, OHP transparencies, or envelopes, make the settings for thick paper or OHP transparencies using the control panel or printer driver. See p.32 “Specifying a paper type for the Bypass Tray”.

You cannot use the following functions when printing on paper loaded in the bypass tray:

•Duplex Print

•Job Separation

•Staple/Punch

•Auto Tray Select
