Solution
To ensure optimum performance, use only paper that falls within the specifications in the following lists. Using inappropriate paper may result in deterioration in print quality or paper jams.
IMPORTANT
When continuously printing the paper of 279.4 mm wide (Letter size) or less, the safety function that prevents damages caused by heat may slow the print speed down in stages. (The print speed may drop to approx. 10 pages/min. in printing A5, B5, and B4 size plain paper.)
Plain Paper
This printer can print plain paper at standard sizes of A3, B4, A4, B5, A5, 12 x 18, Statement, Ledger (11 x 17), Legal, Letter, Executive, 8K, 16K, at custom sizes, and at long sizes that weighs 64 to 105 g/m
.
Standard size paper (paper at a size other than sizes of Statement, 8K, and 16K) can be fed from a paper cassette or the multi-purpose tray. Plain paper at the sizes of Statement, 8K, and 16K can be fed from the multi-purpose tray. Automatic 2-sided printing can be performed on paper at sizes of A3, B4, A4, B5, A5, Statement, Ledger (11 x 17), Letter, Legal, Executive, 8K, and 16K.
Custom size paper and long size paper can be fed from the multi-purpose tray. Custom size paper can be used for automatic 2-sided printing from the multi-purpose tray. By installing the optional paper feeders, you can perform automatic 2-sided printing because custom size paper can be fed from Cassette 2, Cassette 3, and Cassette 4.
* 100 % recycled paper (64 - 105 g/m
) can be used as plain paper.
Heavy Paper
This printer can print heavy paper at standard sizes of A3, B4, A4, B5, A5, 12 x 18, Statement, Ledger (11 x 17), Legal, Letter, Executive, 8K, 16K, at custom sizes, and at long sizes that weighs 106 to 220 g/m
. Heavy paper can be fed only from the multi-purpose tray, and only 1-sided printing can be performed on it.
Coated Paper
This printer can print A3 and A4 size coated paper. Load coated paper in the multi-purpose tray.
Label
This printer can print A4 size labels. Labels can be fed from a paper cassette or the multi-purpose tray.
IMPORTANT
Do not use the labels in the following conditions. Using inappropriate labels may result in paper jams that are difficult to clear or may result in damage to the printer.
- Peeled labels or partly used labels
- Coated labels that are easily peeled off from the backing sheet
- Labels with uneven adhesive
Envelope
The envelopes that can be used with this printer are as follows.
You can feed envelopes from the multi-purpose tray.
* You cannot use envelopes at sizes of DL, COM 10, Monarch, and C5 that have a flap on the short edge.
IMPORTANT
- Do not use the following types of envelopes. Using inappropriate envelopes may result in paper jams that are difficult to clear or may result in damage to the printer.
- Envelopes with fasteners or snaps
- Envelopes with address windows
- Envelopes with adhesive on the surface
- Wrinkled or creased envelopes
- Poorly manufactured envelopes in which the glued parts are uneven
- Irregularly-shaped envelopes
- Before loading the envelopes, flatten the stack of envelopes to release any remaining air, and press the fold lines along the edges tight.
- Do not print on the reverse side (glued side) of envelopes.
- When loading envelopes at a size of DL, COM10, C5, or Monarch, load them so that the flap is toward the right of the printer when viewed from the front.
- When printing envelopes of the Envelope B5 size, close the flaps and load them so that the envelopes are printed from the top (the edge with the flap).
- Printing speed drops when printing envelops.
NOTE
When printing envelopes, they may be creased.
