This section describes supported paper sizes and types.
If you use paper that curls, either because it is too dry or too damp, a paper jam may occur.
Do not use paper designed for inkjet printers, as these may stick to the fusing unit and cause a misfeed.

*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.
Recommended paper: Paper with calcium carbonate (CaCO3) ratio of 15% or less.
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 bypass tray.
Flatten out curled sheets before loading them.
Depending on the paper sizes and types, the copy/print speed may be slower than usual.
When loading envelopes, see Loading Envelopes.
When loading thick paper of 129-220 g/m2 (34 lb. Bond–80 lb. Cover), see Thick paper.
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 shifts to the other 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. You can specify the paper type of the paper trays under [Paper Type: Tray 1]–[Paper Type: Tray 2]. For details, see "Tray Paper Settings", Connecting the Machine/System Settings. For the setting procedure of the Auto Tray Switching function, see "General Features", Copy.
When loading label paper:
We recommend that you use specified label paper.
Select the appropriate paper thickness for [Paper Type].
