EAVYWEIGHT
PAPER
OR
CARDSTOCK
The normal paper path from a main paper tray to the top output
stack involves two complete U-turns. This may sometimes cause
very heavyweight paper or cardstock to jam or misfeed.
Use the Manual Feed Tray to feed this type of paper and the Rear
Output Stacker to collect printed output. This gives a nearly
straight paper path through the machine and may prove more
reliable in this type of application.

SETTING
The process used to fuse (fix) the printed image to the paper
involves a mixture of pressure and heat. Too much heat will
cause lightweight paper to crease or curl and corrugations in
transparencies. Too little heat will cause the image not to fuse
fully into heavyweight paper.
