*2 The paper tray fence is fixed. If you wish to change the size of paper, contact your service representative.

*3 The paper size is detected automatically.

*4 Select the paper size in Tray Paper Settings.

*5 If you want to print onto custom size paper, enter the paper size in Tray Paper Settings.

*6 The optional tab sheet holder is required.

*7 Actual paper capacity might be lower than indicated here, depending on the paper type.

Paper Thickness

Paper thickness	Minimum paper weight	Maximum paper weight
Paper Weight 1	60.0 g/m²	63.0 g/m²
Paper Weight 2	63.1 g/m²	80.0 g/m²
Paper Weight 3	80.1 g/m²	105.0 g/m²
Paper Weight 4	105.1 g/m²	163.0 g/m²
Paper Weight 5	163.1 g/m²	220.0 g/m²
Paper Weight 6	220.1 g/m²	256.0 g/m²
Paper Weight 7	256.1 g/m²	300.0 g/m²

When loading paper in the paper trays 1 and 2, 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 tab sheets or label paper, make sure to select the appropriate paper type under Tray Paper Settings.
Do not use paper designed for inkjet printers, as these may stick to the fusing unit and cause a misfeed.
If multiple sheet feeding occurs, load sheets one by one.
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 print run to replenish paper when making a large number of prints. You can set the paper type of the paper trays.
If the surface of the paper is dusty, white spots might appear on prints. To remove dust, fan the paper thoroughly.
The Adjust Paper Curl function might not be able to fully remove curl, depending on the type of paper and the direction of its grain. If long grain paper does not uncurl properly, try short grain paper instead.

Thick Paper
