2 - 20   USABLE PAPER TYPES AND PRINTING METHOD

Do not use paper that is damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape. 

■

Before using paper that has holes in it, such as organizer sheets, you must 'fan' the stack to 
avoid paper jams and misfeeds. 

■

Do not use paper with perforations (holes) at the edges.

■

Do not put the punched holes near the actuator (paper sensor).

■

Do not use organizer sheets that are stuck together. The glue that is used might damage the 
printer. 

■

Do not load different types of paper at the same time in the paper tray because it may cause 
paper jams or misfeeds (except for transparencies) (See Printing on Transparencies from the 
Paper Tray on page 2-23).

■

For proper printing, you must choose the same paper size from your software application as the 
paper in the tray.

■

If your application software does not allow you to select the paper size in its PRINT menu, you 
can use the control panel Menu buttons to go to the PAPER menu to change the paper size. For 
more information, see PAPER on page 4-13.

Use transparencies that are designed for use in laser printers and for black and white printing only.

■

Transparencies for full-color printing cannot be loaded. Using unsuitable transparencies may 
lead to a printer malfunction.

■

If the output transparencies are allowed to stack up in the center output tray, paper jams may 
occur due to static electricity.
Remove the transparencies from the tray as soon as they exit the printer.
