Usable Paper
To ensure optimum performance, use only paper that falls within the specifications 
in the following lists. Using inappropriate paper may result in deterioration in print 
quality or paper jams.
IMPORTANT
•Print speed may drop depending on the settings for the paper orientation, paper size, 
paper type and total print pages.
•When continuously printing the paper of A4 size (297.0 mm wide) or smaller, the safety 
function that prevents damages caused by heat may slow the print speed down in stages. 
(The print speed may be as slow as approximately 1.9 ppm.)
Paper Size
The following shows the paper sizes that can be used with this printer. The symbol 
 indicates the paper that can be used for 1-sided printing and automatic 2-sided 
printing using the optional duplex unit, the symbol   indicates the paper that can 
be used for only 1-sided printing, and the symbol X indicates the paper that 
cannot be used.
