Paper recommendations
Loading paper in the main unit tray
- Insert paper with the face down, and adjust paper guides to the paper format to avoid feed failure, skewing, and
paper jams.
- Amount of loaded paper must not exceed the loading mark. If the loading mark is exceeded, this may cause feed
failure, skewing, and paper jams.
- Adding paper in the pile must be avoided because it may cause double feeding.
- When withdrawing the cassette from the main unit, always support it with both hands to avoid doing drop it.
- If you use paper already printed by your machine or another printer, the printing quality may not be optimal.
Handling of paper
- Curling must be corrected before printing. Curls must not exceed 10 mm.
- Care must be taken with storage to prevent feed faults and image defects due to leaving the paper in conditions
of high humidity.
Humidity control
- Paper which has become damp, or paper which has been left unused for a very long time.
- After opening the paper, it must be kept in a plastic bag.
- Paper with waved ends, paper which is creased, paper with crumples, and any other non-normal paper must not
be used.
Use of envelopes
- Feeding can be done only through the manual feed.
- Recommended area should be the area which excludes 15 mm from the leading edge, 10 mm from and both the
left and right edges, and the rear edge.
- A few lines may be given in solid print at the part of being overlapped.
- Envelopes which are not recommended may lead to improper printing (refer to the paragraph
Peripheral

- Curled envelope after printing should be fixed manually.
- Small crumples on the edge of the wide side of envelopes. Smearing, or less clear printing may appear on the
reverse side.
