Use and Storage of Supplies
•When setting paper thinner than 64g/m2, 17 lb or translucent paper in the pa- per trays or bypass trays, set it as shown in the figure below. The paper is di- vided into the vertical and horizontal types depending on the texture flow
direction. If you set thin paper or translucent paper in the reverse direction, a paper jam might occur. Since A3, B4, 11" × 17", and 81/2" × 14" sizes of thin paper are set in the lengthwise direction in this machine, they must be of the vertical type.
