Print quality will decrease if the paper you are using is close to the minimum or maximum weight.
Change the paper weight setting to thinner or thicker.

Depending on the type of thin paper, the edges may crease or the paper may be misfed. • Certain types of paper produce noise when delivered. This noise does not indicate a problem and
print quality is unaffected. (Glossy paper and OHP transparencies can produce noise when
delivered.)
• The paper capacity described in the tables above is an example. Actual paper capacity might be
lower, depending on the paper type.
•
When loading paper, make sure the stack height does not exceed the limit mark of the paper tray.
• If multiple sheet feeding occurs, fan sheets thoroughly or load sheets one by one from the bypass tray.
• Flatten out curled sheets before loading them.
• When loading envelopes, see p.145 "Envelopes".
• When loading thick paper of 106–216 g/m 2
 (28 lb. Bond–80 lb. Cover), see p.144 "Thick
Paper".
• When copying or printing onto letterhead paper, the paper placing orientation is different depending on which function you are using. See "Loading Orientation-Fixed Paper or Two-Sided
Paper", Paper Specifications and Adding Paper .
• If you load paper of the same size and same type in two or more trays, the machine automatically
shifts to the other tray when the first tray in use runs out of paper. This function is called Auto Tray
Switching. (However, if the paper type of one tray is recycled or special paper, the settings of the
other trays must be the same for the Auto Tray Switching function to work.) This saves interrupting a
copy run to replenish paper when making a large number of copies. You can set the paper type of
the paper trays under [Paper Type: Tray 1]–[Paper Type: Tray 4], [Paper Type: Bypass Tray], and
[Paper Type: LCT]. See "System Settings", Connecting the Machine/ System Settings . For the
setting procedure of the Auto Tray Switching function, see "Copier / Document Server Features",
Copy/ Document Server .
• When loading label paper:
•

We recommend that you use specified label paper.
• Press [Bypass], and the [ ] key, and then select [Thick Paper 1] or [Thick Paper 2] for [Paper
Type].
• When loading OHP transparencies:
•

When copying onto OHP transparencies, see "Copying onto OHP Transparencies", Copy/
Document Server .
• When printing on OHP transparencies from the computer, see p.132  

"Setting thick paper, thin
paper, or OHP transparencies using the control panel".
• Fan OHP transparencies thoroughly whenever you use them. This prevents OHP transparencies from sticking together, and from feeding incorrectly. Recommended Paper Sizes and Types
143        
						

							• Remove copied or printed sheets one by one.
•
The copy/print speed may be slower than usual.
•
When loading translucent paper: • Remove copied or printed sheets one by one.
• When loading translucent paper, always use long grain paper, and set the paper direction according to the grain.
• Translucent paper easily absorbs humidity and becomes curled. Remove curl in the translucent paper before loading.
Thick Paper This section gives you various details about and recommendations concerning thick paper.
When loading thick paper of 106–216 g/m
2
 (28 lb. Bond–80 lb. Cover) in trays 1–4, Tray 3 (LCT),
the large capacity tray (LCT), or in the bypass tray, follow the recommendations below to prevent
misfeeds and loss of image quality.
• Store all your paper in the same environment - a room where the temperature is 20–25 °C (68–
77 °F) and the humidity is 30–65%.
•

When loading thick paper in trays 1–4, be sure to load at least 20 sheets. Also, be sure to position
the side fences flush against the paper stack.
• Jams and misfeeds can occur when printing on thick glossy sheets. To prevent such problems, be sure to fan glossy sheets thoroughly before loading them. If sheets continue to become jammed or
feed in together even after they are fanned, load them one by one from the bypass tray.
• When loading thick paper, set the paper direction according to its grain, as shown in the following diagram: Direction of
paper grain Tray 3 (LCT) Trays 1–4 Large capacity

							• When copying or printing onto thick paper of 161–216 g/m
2
 (60–80 lb. Cover), the copy/print
speed is slower than usual.
• Select [Thick Paper 1] or [Thick Paper 2] in [Tray Paper Settings] under the System Settings menu.
•
Even if thick paper is loaded as described above, normal operations and print quality might still not
be possible, depending on the paper type.
• Prints might have prominent vertical creases.
• Prints might be noticeably curled. Flatten out prints if they are creased or curled.
Envelopes This section gives you various details about and recommendations concerning envelopes.
• Do not use window envelopes.
•
Fan the envelopes before loading them to separate them and prevent the glue on them from
causing them to stick together. If fanning does not prevent them sticking together, load them one by
one. Note that some types of envelopes cannot be used with this machine.
•

Misfeeds might occur depending on the length and shape of the flaps.
• Envelopes that are output to the internal tray may be pushed off as successive envelopes are output. If this is the case, remove the envelopes as they are output.
• Only envelopes that are at least 139 mm (5.5 inches) wide and whose flaps are open can be loaded in the   orientation.
• When loading envelopes, load them in the   orientation. If you load envelopes in the 
orientation, they might become creased.
• When loading envelopes in the   orientation, load them with flaps fully open. Otherwise, they
might not feed into the machine.
• Load envelopes in the paper trays as shown below if they are between 139 mm (5.5 inches) and
148 mm (5.9 inches) wide when their flaps are open:
•

Align the envelopes with the right edge of the paper tray.
• Envelopes may misfeed because there is a gap between the envelopes and the end fence. If this happens, reload the envelopes.
• Carefully slide the paper tray completely in.
• Before loading envelopes, press down on them to remove any air from inside, flatten out all four edges. If they are bent or curled, flatten their leading edges (the edge going into the machine) by
running a pencil or ruler across them. Recommended Paper Sizes and Types

To print on envelopes that are loaded with their short edges against the machine body, rotate the
print image by 180 degrees using the printer driver.
Recommended envelopes
For information about recommended envelopes, contact your local dealer.
The size of envelopes that you can load depends on the tray in which you load them. For details,
see p.138 "Recommended Paper Sizes and Types". • Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.
•
The Duplex function cannot be used with envelopes.
•

To get better output quality, it is recommended that you set the right, left, top, and bottom print
margin, to at least 15 mm (0.6 inches) each. Recommended Paper Sizes and Types
147           
						

							• Output quality on envelopes may be uneven if parts of an envelope have differing thicknesses. Print
one or two envelopes to check print quality.
• Copied or printed sheets are delivered to the internal tray even if you specified a different tray.
•
Flatten out prints if they are creased or curled.
• Check the envelopes are not damp.
• High temperature and high humidity conditions can reduce print quality and cause envelopes to become creased.
• Depending on the environment, copying or printing on envelopes may wrinkle them even if they are recommended.
• Certain types of envelopes might come out creased, dirtied, or misprinted. If you are printing a solid color on an envelope, lines may appear where the overlapped edges of the envelope make it
thicker.
