• If a print job is changed partway through printing from one-sided to two-sided printing, one- sided output after the first copy may be printed facing a different direction. To ensure all
paper is output facing the same direction, specify different input trays for one-sided and two-
sided printing. Note also that two-sided printing must be disabled for the tray specified for
one-sided printing.

Recommended Paper Sizes and Types
This section describes recommended paper sizes and types.
• If you use paper that curls, either because it is too dry or too damp, a paper jam may occur. • Do not use paper designed for inkjet printers, as these may stick to the fusing unit and cause a misfeed.
• When you load OHP transparencies, check the front and back of the sheets, and place them correctly, or a misfeed might occur.

							*1Print 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.
• Certain types of paper, such as translucent paper or OHP transparencies, may produce noise
when delivered. This noise does not indicate a problem and print quality is unaffected.
• 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.
• Depending on the paper sizes and types, the copy/print speed may be slower than usual.
• When loading thick paper of 106–220 g/m 2
 (28 lb. Bond–80 lb. Cover), see page 138 "Thick
paper".
• When loading envelopes, see page 139 "Envelopes".
• When using paper of 60–65 g/m 2
 (16–17 lb. Bond), we recommend that you specify [Special
Paper 1] for paper type in order to get better output quality.
• When copying or printing onto letterhead paper, the paper placing orientation is different depending on which function you are using. For details, see page 130 "Loading Orientation-fixed
Paper or Two-sided Paper".
• If you load paper of the same size and same type in two or more trays, the machine automatically feeds from one of the trays in which [Yes] is selected for [Apply Auto Paper Select] when the first
tray in use runs out of paper. This function is called Auto Tray Switching. This saves interrupting a
copy run to replenish paper when making a large number of copies. You can specify the paper type of the paper trays under [Paper Type]. For details, see "Tray Paper Settings", Connecting the
Machine/ System Settings. For the setting procedure of the Auto Tray Switching function, see
"General Features", Copy/ Document Server.
• When loading label paper: • We recommend that you use specified label paper.
• Press [
], and then select the appropriate paper thickness 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 page 129 "Specifying thick paper or OHP transparencies for paper type using the control panel".
• Fan OHP transparencies thoroughly whenever you use them. This prevents OHP transparencies from sticking together, and from feeding incorrectly.

							• Remove copied or printed sheets one by one.
• When loading translucent paper: • When loading translucent paper, always use long grain paper, and set the paper directionaccording to the grain.
• Translucent paper easily absorbs humidity and becomes curled. Remove curl in the translucent paper before loading.
• Remove copied or printed sheets one by one.
• When loading coated paper: • To print on coated paper from the bypass tray or paper trays: press [User Tools], press [TrayPaper Settings], and then, for each tray's [Paper Type] be sure to specify [Coated Paper] for
[Paper Type]. Specify the thickness of the paper under [Paper Thickness] according to the
weight of the paper you are printing on.
• When loading coated sheets, fan them for each use. • If coated sheets of paper jam, make noise, or if more than one sheet is fed at a time, feed them from the bypass tray one at a time.
Thick paper
This section gives you various details about and recommendations concerning thick paper.
When loading thick paper of 106–163 g/m 2
 (28 lb. Bond–90 lb. Index) in the paper trays, or 106–
220 g/m 2
 (28 lb. Bond–80 lb. Cover) 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 paper in the paper trays, 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 smooth paper. To prevent such problems, be sure to fan smooth paper thoroughly before loading them. If paper continues to become jammed orfeed 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:
