Paper type precautions

• Use the bypass tray to print on paper heavier than 163 g/m² (297.6 lb.).

• The only type of A6 (105 148 mm (4.2 5.9 inches)) paper that can be loaded in tray 1 is that of 163 g/m² (297.6 lb.).

• After printing, some types of paper take longer than others to dry. With duplex printing, the ink may smear or rub off. Using the printer driver, specify how long to wait for the prints to dry between printing each side of a duplex sheet. For details, see the printer driver Help.

• When printing on inkjet plain paper, in the printer properties dialog box, click [Inkjet Plain Paper]. This allows printing at higher quality.

• In the printer properties dialog box, when [Inkjet Plain Paper] is selected, only one-sided printing is possible. To print on both sides of a sheet, click [Plain].

• Use as soon as possible after opening the package.

• The time it takes for the ink to dry depends on the kind of printed image and the environmental conditions.

• To ensure water- and oil-resistance, leave the printed sheet to dry for about a day.

• Some print images can cause the paper to curl. If this happens, remove the sheet from the output tray before printing the next job.

• Some print images can cause the paper to curl, which creates patchy print. If this happens, set [Print Quality] to [Quality priority].

• Only one-sided printing is possible.

• When using these sheets, see the instructions supplied with them.

• Identify the print side by orientating the sheet vertically, so that the notched corner is at the bottom left. The side facing you is the print side.

• Load one sheet at a time. If multiple sheets are loaded, the leading edge of transparencies may get scratched.

• Handle sheets by the edges so as not to dirty or leave fingerprints on the print side.

• Make sure that sheets are not badly bent or scratched, and the print side is not damaged.

• Only one-sided printing is possible.

• Remove sheets from the output tray individually, as they come out.

• Before handling, make sure printed sheets have fully dried.

• If you want to stack prints soon after they are printed, we recommend inserting a moisture-absorbent sheet, like copy paper, between prints.

• Ink takes time to dry. To prevent sheets from sticking together, remove them from the output tray individually, as they come out.

• If printing comes out streaked, adjust the paper feed level.

• Use at 15-25°C (59-77°F) and 30-70% humidity.

• Use as soon as possible after opening the package.

• When using these sheets, see the instructions supplied with them.

• Up to 20 envelopes can be loaded in tray 1.

• If the envelopes bulge, flatten them.

• Load envelopes carefully, because the printable area depends on the orientation.

• Set the Envelope selector to the rear position before printing.

• Paper heavier than 163 g/m² (297.6 lb.) is inserted into the bypass tray one sheet at a time. Paper lighter than that can be loaded into tray 1 or tray 2 (optional).

• You can insert paper with weights up to 255 g/m² (485.0 lb.) into the bypass tray.

• Insert paper with the print side face up into the bypass tray.

Depending on the paper type, the ink may take a while to dry. Before handling, make sure printed sheets have fully dried. Otherwise, the ink may smudge.
