• Perforated paper
• Slippery paper
• Torn paper
• Rough paper
• Thin paper with little stiffness
• Paper with a dusty surface
Even supported types of paper may cause paper jams or malfunctions if the paper is not in good
condition.
If you copy or print onto rough grain paper, the output image might be blurred.
Do not use the copied or printed paper again. It may cause paper jam.
If you use paper curled by humidity or drying, the paper or staple may jam.
Do not load sheets that have already been printed onto by another machine. Doing so may
interfere with loading of paper because the powder for preventing offset may attach to the paper
roller.
• A paper jam may occur depending on the condition of the paper even when using the
recommended paper.
Paper Storage
When storing paper, the following precautions should always be followed:
• Do not store paper where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or reach high temperatures.
• Store paper in a dry environment (humidity: 70% or less).
• Store on a flat surface.
• Do not store paper vertically.
• Once opened, store paper in a plastic bag.
Saving Printouts
• Prints will fade if exposed to strong light or dampness and humidity for extended periods of time.
Preserve the quality of your copies by storing them in a binder in a dark, dry place.
• When folding prints, toner in the folds will come off.
• If the prints are stored in the conditions described below, toner may melt:
• When a print and a half-dried print are put on top of each other
• When solvent-type adhesive agents are used for pasting prints
