RWe recommend that you test paper (especially
special sizes and types of paper) on the unit before
purchasing large quantities.
RDo not use the following types of paper:
– Paper with cotton and/or fiber content that is over
20 %, such as letterhead paper or paper used for
resumes
– Extremely smooth or shiny paper, or paper that is
highly textured
– Coated, damaged or wrinkled paper
– Paper with foreign objects attached, such as tabs
or staples
– Paper that has dust, lint or oil stains
– Paper that will melt, vaporize, discolor, scorch or
emit dangerous fumes near 200 °C (392 °F), such
as vellum paper. These materials may transfer
onto the fusing roller and cause damage.
– Moist paper
– Inkjet paper
RSome paper is designed to be printed on only one
side. Try printing on the other side of the paper if you
are not happy with the print quality, or if misfeeding
occurs.
RFor proper paper feeding and best print quality, we
recommend using long-grained paper.
RDo not use paper of different types or thicknesses at
the same time. This may cause paper jams.
RAvoid double-sided printing.
RDo not use paper printed from this unit for
double-sided printing with other copiers or printers.
This may cause paper jams.
RTo avoid curling, do not open paper packs until you
are ready to use the paper. Store unused paper in the
original packaging, in a cool and dry location.
RFor customers who live in high humidity areas:
Please be sure to store paper in an air-conditioned
room at all times. If you print using moist paper, it may
cause paper jam.
