Paper Type Precautions

Plain paper

  • 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.).

Inkjet plain paper

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

  • Use as soon as possible after opening the package.

Glossy paper

  • 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.

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

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

Envelopes

  • 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 image before printing.

Cautions to Observe After Printing

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.
