Selecting the Right Paper
This section describes the guidelines for selecting paper.
Condition
Avoid using paper that is bent at the edges, curled, dirty, torn, 
embossed, or contaminated with lint, clay, or paper shreds.
Use of paper in these conditions can lead to illegible printing and paper 
jams, and can shorten the life of the machine. In particular, avoid using 
paper with a surface coating or other surface treatment. Paper should 
have as smooth and even a surface as possible....

Basis weight
Basis weight is the weight of paper expressed in grams per square meter 
(g/m²). Paper that is too heavy or too light may cause feed errors or 
paper jams as well as premature wear of the product. Uneven weight of 
paper, namely uneven paper thickness may cause multiple-sheet 
feeding or print quality problems such as blurring because of poor toner 
fusing.
The recommended basis weight is between 60 and 120g/m² (16 to 31.9 
lib/ream) for the cassette and between 60 and...

2-6Loading Paper
The moisture content of the paper varies with the relative humidity in the 
room. When the relative humidity is high and the paper absorbs 
moisture, the paper edges expand, becoming wavy in appearance. 
When the relative humidity is low and the paper loses moisture, the 
edges shrink and tighten, and print contrast may suffer.
Wavy or tight edges can cause jams and alignment anomalies. The 
moisture content of the paper should be 4 to 6%.
To ensure correct moisture content, it is...

Special Paper
The following types of special paper can be used:
•Thin paper (60 to 64 g/m²)
• Thick paper (90 to 220 g/m²)
• Colored paper
• Recycled paper
• Overhead projector transparencies
• Cardstock
• Coated paper
• Envelopes
• Labels
Use paper that is sold specifically for use with copiers or printers (heat-
fusing type). When using transparencies, labels, envelopes, cardstock, 
coated, or thick paper, feed the paper from the  MP Tray.
Since the composition and quality of special...

2-8Loading Paper
Some label paper is manufactured with an extra margin of top sheet 
around the edge. Do not remove the extra top sheet from the carrier 
sheet until after printing is finished.
The table below lists the specifications for adhesive label paper.
Postcards
Up to 10 postcards can be loaded at a time. Fan the stack of postcards 
and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Make sure the 
postcards you are going to set are not curled. Feeding curled postcards 
may cause paper jams....

Loading Paper2-9
Thick Paper
Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the 
MP tray. Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those are 
created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat place 
and rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth 
them. Feeding rough edged paper may cause paper jams.
Colored Paper
Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper. 
Refer to Paper Specifications  on page2-2. In...

Paper Type
The printer is capable of printing under the optimum setting for the type 
of paper being used.
A different paper type setting can be made for each paper source 
including the MP tray. Not only can preset paper types be selected, but it 
is also possible for you to define and select customized paper types. 
Paper type can be changed using the printer driver and Configuration 
Tool. The following types of paper can be used.

Preparing the Paper
After removing paper from the packaging, fan through the sheets to 
separate them prior to loading.
If using paper that has been folded or is curled, straighten it prior to 
loading. Failure to do so may result in a paper jam.
Loading Paper into Cassette
250 sheets of 11 × 8 1/2 or A4 paper (80 g/m²) may be loaded into the 
Cassette. 
1Pull the cassette  completely out of the printer.

If you are going to use paper that is longer than A4, pull out the 
extension paper cassette  by pushing the release lever  one by one 
and adjust it to the desired paper size.
