Paper Type Precautions

• Use the bypass tray to print on thick paper (157 g/m² (42 lb.) or more).

• The only type of A6 (105 × 148 mm (4.2 × 5.9 inches)) paper that can be loaded in tray 1 is that of 80g/m² (21.5 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.

• If the temperature exceeds 25°C or the relative humidity exceeds 50%, problems with continuous feeding of glossy paper might occur. If this is the case, feed the sheets one by one.

• If you load multiple sheets of glossy paper and they do not feed in properly, feed them one by one.

• Ink smearing can be caused by environmental conditions (such as high humidity) and the type of image being printed (such as ink-heavy images).If smearing occurs, set [Print Quality] to [Quality priority] or [Speed priority]. This may stop the ink smearing.

• Roller marks might appear on printed images.

• If paper is fed from the bypass tray, roller marks might appear on the printed image.

• 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, 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.

• 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 lever to the rear position before printing.

• Thick paper is heavier than 157 g/m² (42 lb.).

• You can insert paper with weights up to 255 g/m² (60 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.
