Feed Mode | Min. | Max. |
|
|
|
Automatic | 0.07mm (0.003") | 0.10mm (0.004") |
|
|
|
Manual | 0.07mm (0.003") | 0.23mm (0.01") |

Caution:
Never use paper in the sheet feeder with thickness outside the range 0.07 mm - 0.10 mm (0.003" - 0.004") in automatic feed mode. In manual feed mode, never use paper whose thickness is outside the range 0.07 mm - 0.23
mm(0.003" - 0.01"). Doing so may cause paper jams or damage to the printer.
Paper jams can be caused by feeding in paper that is ex- tremely smooth or shiny, too rough, or paper that easily picks up static electricity. Paper jams and other paper feed problems can tear the ribbons in ink cartridges.
To avoid such problems, please note the following pre- cautions:
•Always use the recommended paper types, and be sure to set the printer’s paper options properly. Settings that are not appropriate for the paper being used can cause paper jams.
•When printing on Dye Sublimation Paper, use only Dye Sublimation ink cartridges. Be sure to confine your printing to the glossy printable area only. If you print outside this area, you may dam- age the ink cartridge.
•When printing on a thick sheet, or an irregular
•When printing on used sheets (already printed on the same side), use manual feed only. Automatic feed may not feed used sheets properly. When using manual feed, avoid repeatedly inserting and removing the same sheet.
Loading paper in automatic feed mode
Use automatic feed mode for continuous printing. There are two methods for loading paper, depending on the media.
