Thermal, carbon or conductive paper, aluminum foil
•
Paper with the following characteristics:
* Bent, folded, creased, curled, twisted, torn, wrinkled, or damp
* Dry enough to generate static electricity
* Paper with preprinted images (except letterhead)
* Paper with windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing
* Label paper with any of its sticky surfaces exposed
* Paper with clips or staples
NOTE 2:
How the machine interprets paper types selected in the printer driver
The printer is not able to interpret the “Cardstock,” “Label” and “Envelope” paper type settings in the driver,
and will treat such cases the same as Plain Paper (see table on next page).
As a result, the oil supply roller becomes dirty with toner, an insufficient amount of oil is applied to the fusing
belt, and a paper jam occurs. This may also result in offset images.
Therefore advise users to:
1) Always feed Envelopes, Label Paper and Normal Thick Paper from the Bypass Tray.
2) Always use Thick Paper as the driver setting whenever feeding the following types:
Paper Type Used Paper Feed Station Driver Setting
Normal Thick Paper By-pass tray Thick Paper
Labels By-pass tray Thick Paper
Cardstock By-pass tray Thick Paper
Envelope By-pass tray Thick Paper
