Paper Precautions
• Do not attempt to print on stapled sheets, aluminum foil, carbon paper, or any kind of
conductive paper. Doing so risks fire.
Precautions
• Print quality is not guaranteed if paper other than the ones recommended is used. For more
information about recommended paper, contact your sales or service representative.
• If paper jams occur or multiple sheets are fed at once, fan the paper before loading it.
• If you load paper when only a few sheets of paper remain in the tray, multiple sheet feeding
may occur. Remove any remaining paper, stack them upon the new sheets of paper, and then
fan the entire stack before loading it into the tray.
• Straighten curled or warped paper before loading.
• For details about available paper sizes and types for each paper tray, see page 28 "Paper
Size Specifications" and page 30 "Paper Type Specifications".
• Depending on the environment where the printer is being used, you might at times hear a
rustling noise from paper moving through the printer. This noise does not indicate a
malfunction.
• If paper cannot be fed properly because of burrs on the edges of paper, load paper upside
down.
• It is recommended to load envelopes and labels into the bypass tray.
Unusable Paper
To prevent errors and misfeeds, do not use:
• Paper for inkjet printers, thermal fax paper, art paper, paper with perforated lines, hemmed-
edge paper, or window envelopes
• Bent, folded, or creased paper, perforated paper, slippery paper, torn paper, rough paper,
thin paper with little stiffness, and paper with a dusty surface
