Copy capability is greatly influenced by the ambient temperature, so printing must be performed
under the conditions described below.
The slip paper must be flat and without curls, folds (especially curls or folds at the top edges),
curves, or wrinkles. Otherwise, it may rub against the ink ribbon and become dirty.
The slip holding roller may make marks on the copy paper.
Print position may shift for the top and bottom sheets of multi-ply paper; therefore, when
formatting slip paper, take this into account.
Use thinner paper (N30 or equivalent) between the top and bottom sheets of multi-ply paper. If
thick paper is used, the copy capability is lowered.
The slip paper must be flat, without curls or wrinkles, especially at the top edges.
