Thick Paper

This section gives you various details about and recommendations concerning thick paper.

When loading thick paper of 106–216 g/m2 (28 lb. Bond–80 lb. Cover) in trays 1–4, Tray 3 (LCT), or the large capacity tray (LCT), or 106–220 g/m2 (28 lb. Bond–80 lb. Cover) in the bypass tray, follow the recommendations below to prevent misfeeds and loss of image quality.

Note

  • When copying or printing onto thick paper, the copy/print speed is slower than usual.

  • Select [Thick Paper 1] or [Thick Paper 2] in [Tray Paper Settings] under the System Settings menu.

  • Even if thick paper is loaded as described above, normal operations and print quality might still not be possible, depending on the paper type.

  • Prints might have prominent vertical creases.

  • Prints might be noticeably curled. Flatten out prints if they are creased or curled.
