Do not stack paper over the limit mark.
Jams and misfeeds can occur when printing on thick glossy sheets. To prevent such problems, be sure to fan glossy sheets thoroughly before loading them.
When loading paper, set the paper direction according to its grain, as shown in the following diagram:
Direction of paper grain |
Tray 1 |
A3/11 × 17 tray unit, Tray 2, or the wide LCT |
Multi bypass tray (Tray A) |

Even if paper is loaded as described above, normal operations and print quality might still not be possible, depending on the paper type.
When loading 52.3 g/m2 (14.0 lb. Bond) paper into paper trays or loading translucent paper into the wide LCT or the multi bypass tray (Tray A), always use long grain paper.
Prints might be noticeably curled. Flatten out prints if they are creased or curled. For details about settings for flattening out curled paper, see "0304 Correct Output Paper Curl", Maintenance and Management.
To prevent multiple sheets from being fed at once, fan the paper before loading it.
If you load paper when only a few sheets of paper remain in the tray, multiple sheet feeding may occur. Remove any remaining paper, stack them with the new sheets of paper, and then fan the entire stack before loading it into the tray.
Straighten curled or warped paper before loading.
When paper in trays that are set to automatically eject unnecessary tab stock sheets runs out, reload the tab stock from the beginning of the cycle (the first sheet).
When you load paper into the paper tray for the first time or when you change the size or type of paper in the paper tray, be sure to specify the appropriate paper settings in Tray Paper Settings. For details, see Changing Tray Paper Settings.
For details about the paper sizes and types that can be used, see Recommended Paper Sizes and Types.
You might at times hear a rustling noise from paper moving through the machine. This noise does not indicate a malfunction.
