*3 The paper tray fence is fixed. If you wish to change the size of paper placed in this tray, contact your service representative.
*4 The paper size is detected automatically.
*5 Select the paper size using the Tray Paper Setting function. For details, see "Tray Paper Settings", Network and System Settings Guide.
*6 If you want to copy onto custom size paper, select the size using the Tray Paper Setting function. See "Tray Paper Settings", Network and System Settings Guide.
*7 When loading translucent paper, set the paper direction according to the grain.
*8 It is recommended to place one sheet at a time.
*9 The maximum number of sheets you can set at once depends on the paper's thickness and condition.
*10 If you wish to copy onto OHP transparencies, select [OHP (Transparency)].
*11 The tab sheet holder is required.
*12 Select the paper size using the paper size selector.
*13 The paper width of between 100 and 139.7 mm are available only when the special side fence is utilized.

*1 Print quality will decrease if the paper you are using is close to the minimum or maximum weight. Change the paper weight setting to thinner or thicker.
Certain types of paper produce noise when delivered. This noise does not indicate a problem and print quality is unaffected. (OHP transparencies can produce noise when delivered.)
When loading paper in the paper trays 1 3, place the print side face down.
When loading paper in the multi bypass tray, the LCT or the Wide LCT, place the print side face up.
When using the multi bypass tray, the maximum custom width differs depending on which tray is installed:
Large Capacity Tray (LCT): 305.0 mm (12 inches)
Wide Large Capacity Tray (Wide LCT): 330.2 mm (13 inches)
When using tab sheets or label paper, make sure to select the appropriate paper type under [Tray Paper Settings]. See "Tray Paper Settings", Network and System Settings Guide.
Do not use paper designed for inkjet printers, as these may stick to the fusing unit and cause a misfeed.
To print on OHP transparencies, load OHP transparencies on the multi bypass tray, press the [] key, and then set [Special Paper] to [OHP (Transparency)]. For details, see "Copying from the Multi Bypass Tray" in Copy and Document Server Reference and "Setting Paper on the Bypass Tray" in Printer Reference.
When you load OHP transparencies, check the front and back of the sheets, and place them correctly, or a misfeed might occur. Use A4 or 81/2 × 11 size transparencies, and specify their size. For details, see Copy and Document Server Reference, and Printer Reference.
When you use OHP transparencies, fan them for each use.
We recommend you load OHP transparencies and sheets of label paper and translucent paper one by one. This prevents them becoming jammed inside the machine.
Also, be sure to remove printed OHP transparencies and sheets of translucent paper one by one as they are delivered. This prevents them sticking together.
We recommend that you use a 4000ANSI lumen or brighter overhead projector to project OHP transparencies.
You can specify whether or not the machine auto detects multi-sheet feeds in paper from every tray. The default setting is [On]. In the [Adjustment Settings for Operators] menu, you can also specify whether current jobs are suspended or continued when a multi-sheet feed is detected.
If multiple sheet feeding occurs, load sheets one by one.
When you load label paper, set the paper direction to .
Flatten out curled sheets before loading them.
Before you print on coated paper or NCR paper from the Wide LCT for the first time, contact your service representative.
To print on coated paper from the wide large capacity tray: select System Settings, [Tray Paper Settings], and then, for each tray's [Paper Type] be sure to set [Paper Type] to [Coated Paper], and [Paper Thickness] to [Thick Paper 1].
Before loading coated sheets, be sure to fan them thoroughly.
If you load paper of the same size in two or more trays, the machine automatically shifts to the other tray when the first tray in use runs out of paper. This function is called Auto Tray Switching. (However, if the paper type of one tray is recycled or special paper, the settings of the other trays must be the same for the Auto Tray Switching function to work.) This saves interrupting a copy run to replenish paper when making a large number of copies. You can set the paper type of the paper trays. See "Tray Paper Settings", Network and System Settings Guide.
When copying or printing onto letterhead paper, the paper placing orientation is different depending on which function you are using. See "Orientation-Fixed Paper or Two-Sided Paper".
When copying or printing onto prepunched paper, the copy/print speed is slower than usual.
The paper types you can select in System Settings are only general classifications. Print quality for every kind of paper in a classification is not guaranteed. See "Unusable Paper" for more information.
Feeding B5 JIS, A5, or 51/2 × 81/2 paper into the machine might cause a marked edge or a misfeed. In this case, change the orientation or turn over the paper stack in the paper tray.
