If you use plain paper in low temperature and fusibility is insufficient, contact your service representative.
Load paper into the bypass tray with the print side up.
You must manually specify the size of custom size paper when loading it on the bypass tray.
If you load thin paper, load it in the grain direction.
If you use an FA film in an environment where the temperature is 15 °C or below, fusibility may deteriorate. If this happens, contact your service representative.
Do not use paper designed for inkjet printers, as these may stick to the fusing unit and cause a misfeed.
If you load thin paper (64g/m² or less) in a cross-grain direction, white spots and patchy images may appear. If this happens, turn the paper 90 degrees to load it in the grain direction.
If you load paper of the same size in the same orientation in two or more trays, the machine automatically shifts to the other tray - except the bypass tray - 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. See "System Settings", Connecting the Machine/ System Settings. For the setting procedure of the Auto Tray Switching function, see "Copier / Document Server Features", Copy/ Document Server.
If stackability is low when translucent paper (bond or vellum) is used, try loading the paper upside down in the tray.
If you wish to copy onto a transparent film entirely or copy solid fill onto it, contact your service representative.
