■ Types of paper to avoid
•Extremely smooth or shiny paper or paper that is highly textured
•Letterhead imprinted with low temperature or thermography. These
materials may transfer onto the fusing roller and cause damage.
Any pre-printed paper should use inks compatible with 200°C (392°F) for
0.1 second.
•Damaged or wrinkled paper, or paper with irregularities such as tabs,
staples, etc.
•Multipart forms or carbonless paper
•Paper with a 25% or more cotton and/or fiber content
•Ink jet paper (It may transfer onto the fuser roller and cause damage.)
■ Two-sided printing (Duplex printing)
Two-sided printing is possible by using the multi-purpose tray. However,
you should not expect the same print quality and reliability that you get with
one-sided printing. We strongly recommend that you follow the guidelines
below.
•Do not load more than 50 sheets in the multi-purpose tray.
•Before loading paper in the multi-purpose tray, adjust it so that the edges
of the media are lightly touching the media guides of the multi-purpose
tray.
•Use heavier paper, at least 95 to 165 g/m2 (28 to 44 lbs. Bond) for reliable
feed. Do not load a thin sheet of paper in the multi-purpose tray. It may
cause a paper jam.
•It is strongly suggested to use color laser bond paper.
•Use multi-purpose tray for second side printing.
•Avoid printing photograph or graphic in solid color to prevent paper
jamming. It may cause a damage to the printer.
•Before printing on the first side, set the unprintable area [at least 15 mm
(0.59") in length] on the top of paper. (See below.)

It is strongly recommended
that the sizes of photograph
and graphic printed on the
page are as small as
possible.
