Various types of plain paper and special media are sold. Some types cannot be used with the machine. Contact

Note

your dealer or nearest authorised service representative for advice on using these types of paper.

The image quality and toner fusibility of paper may change due to ambient conditions, operating conditions, and paper characteristics, resulting in image quality inferior to that of SHARP standard paper. Contact your dealer or nearest authorised service representative for advice on using these types of paper.

The use of non-recommended or prohibited paper may result in skewed feeding, misfeeds, poor toner fusing (the toner does not adhere to the paper well and can be rubbed off), or machine failure.

The use of non-recommended paper may result in misfeeds or poor image quality. Before using non-recommended paper, check if printing can be performed properly.

Paper that can be used for automatic 2-sided printing

Paper used for automatic duplex printing must meet the following conditions.

Paper type:

Plain paper (special paper cannot be used.)

Paper size:

Standard sizes (A4, B5, A5, 16K, 8-1/2" x 14", 8-1/2" x 13", 8-1/2" x 11")

Paper weight:

60 g/m2 to 105 g/m2 (16 lbs. to 28 lbs.)

Special papers

Follow these guidelines when using special papers.

Use SHARP recommended transparency film and label sheets. Using other than SHARP recommended paper may result in misfeeds or smudges on the output. If other than SHARP recommended media must be used, feed each sheet one at a time using the bypass tray (do not attempt continuous printing).

There are many varieties of special paper available on the market, and some cannot be used with this machine. Before using special paper, contact your authorised service representative.

Before using other than SHARP recommended paper, make a test print to see if the paper is suitable.
