2 to 90 g/m2 (16 lb. to 24 lb.)
Note for recording paper:
LWe recommend that you test paper 
(especially special sizes and types of paper) 
on the unit before purchasing large 
quantities.
LDo not use the following types of paper:
– Paper with a 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 which 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
LSome paper only accepts print on one side. 
Try using the other side of the paper if you are 
not happy with the print quality or if 
misfeeding occurs.
LFor proper paper feeding and best print 
quality, we recommend using long-grained 
paper.
LDo not use paper of different types or 
thickness at the same time. This may cause a 
paper jam.
LAvoid double-sided printing.
LDo not use paper printed from this unit for 
double-sided printing with other copiers or 
printers. This may cause a paper jam.
LTo 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.
Toner life 
Toner life depends on the amount of content in a 
received, copied or printed document. The 
following is the approximate relationship 
between image area and toner life for 
replacement toner cartridge (Model No. KX-
FA85). Toner life varies in actual usage.
5 % image area
Approx. 5,000 sheets of letter size paper can be 
printed.
10 % image area
Approx. 2,500 sheets of letter size paper can be 
printed.
15 % image area
Approx. 1,600 sheets of letter size paper can be 
printed.

Note:
LThe image area changes with the depth, 
thickness and size of the characters.
LIf you turn on the toner save feature, the toner 
cartridge will last approx. 40% longer.
Drum life
The drum unit is a consumable item and needs 
to be replaced regularly. There are various 
factors that determine the actual drum life, such 
as temperature, humidity, type of paper and how 
much toner you use for the number of sheets per 
print job. The estimated drum life is approx. 
10,000 sheets. The actual number of sheets your 
drum will print may be significantly less than 
these estimates. Because many of the factors 
that determine the actual drum life cannot be 
controlled, we cannot guarantee a minimum 
number of sheets that will be printed by your 
drum.
