Recommended Paper Sizes and Types

Previous Next

This section describes recommended paper sizes and types.

If you use paper that curls, either because it is too dry or too damp, a staple clogging or paper jam may occur.
Do not use paper designed for inkjet printers, as these may stick to the fusing unit and cause a misfeed.
When you load OHP transparencies, check the front and back of the sheets, and place them correctly, or a misfeed might occur.

*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.

*2 When loading paper of 40.0–63.0 g/m² (10.7–16.9 lb. Bond), the edges may crease or the paper misfeed depending on the paper type.

Certain types of paper, such as translucent paper or OHP transparencies, may produce noise when delivered. This noise does not indicate a problem and print quality is unaffected.
The paper capacity described in the tables above is an example. Actual paper capacity might be lower, depending on the paper type.
When loading paper, make sure the stack height does not exceed the limit mark of the paper tray.
If multiple sheet feeding occurs, fan sheets thoroughly or load sheets one by one from the multi bypass tray (Tray 7).
You can specify whether or not the machine auto detects multi-sheet feeds in paper from every tray. 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. However, depending on the condition of the paper, the machine may not detect a multi-sheet feed correctly. For details about Adjustment Settings for Operators, see "Adjustment Settings for Operators", Paper Settings.
Flatten out curled sheets before loading them.
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. For details about the Adjust Paper Curl function, see "Adjustment Settings for Operators", Paper Settings.
Depending on the paper's size, weight, and type, the copy/print speed may be slower than usual.
When loading thick paper of 163.1–350.0 g/m² (60.1 lb. Cover–193.3 lb. Index), see Thick paper.
When loading envelopes, see Envelopes.
When copying or printing onto letterhead paper, the paper placing orientation is different depending on which function you are using. For details, see Loading Orientation-fixed Paper or Two-sided Paper.
If you load paper of the same size and same type in two or more trays, the machine automatically feeds from one of the trays in which [Yes] is selected for [Apply Auto Paper Select] when the first tray in use runs out of paper. This function is called Auto Tray Switching. This saves interrupting a copy run to replenish paper when making a large number of copies. You can specify the paper type of the paper trays under [Paper Type] tab. For details, see "Tray Paper Settings", Paper Settings. For the setting procedure of the Auto Tray Switching function, see "General Features", Copy/ Document Server.
When loading label paper:
- We recommend that you use specified label paper.
- It is recommended to load the paper in orientation.
- Select [Label Paper] for [Paper Type] in [Tray Paper Settings], and select an appropriate paper thickness under [Paper Weight].
When loading OHP transparencies:
- We recommend that you use specified OHP transparencies.
- It is recommended to place one sheet at a time.
- When copying onto OHP transparencies, see "Copying onto OHP Transparencies", Copy/ Document Server.
- Fan OHP transparencies thoroughly whenever you use them. This prevents OHP transparencies from sticking together, and from feeding incorrectly.
- Remove copied or printed sheets one by one.
- It is recommended to load the paper in orientation.
- When outputting to the high capacity stacker, specify the output tray as the stacker upper tray. For details, see "General Features", Connecting the Machine/System Settings.
When loading translucent paper:
- It is recommended to place one sheet at a time.
- When loading translucent paper, always use long grain paper, and set the paper direction according to the grain.
- Translucent paper easily absorbs humidity and becomes curled. Remove curl in the translucent paper before loading. For details about settings for flattening out curled paper, see "Adjustment Settings for Operators", Paper Settings.
- Remove copied or printed sheets one by one.
When loading coated paper:
- You can load coated paper on the wide LCT. Before printing on coated paper from the three-tray wide LCT for the first time, contact your service representative.
- If you want to use glossy paper, select [Coated: Glossy] for [Paper Type]. If you want to use matted paper (including silk, dull, and satin paper), select [Coated: Matted] for [Paper Type]. For details about the settings for using coated paper with custom paper, see "Registering a Custom Paper", Paper Settings.
- When loading coated paper or glossy paper, always fan the paper before using it.
- If a paper jam occurs or if the machine makes a strange noise when feeding stacks of coated paper, feed the coated paper one sheet at a time.
- To load coated paper into the wide LCT, you must specify [Coated: Glossy] or [Coated: Matted] as the paper type and select an appropriate paper thickness under [Paper Weight].
