Previous
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 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 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 A).
You can specify whether or not the machine auto detects multi-sheet feeds in paper from every tray. In "0302 When Double Feed is Detected" under the [Adjustment Settings for Operators], you can also specify whether to suspend or continue the current jobs 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 double feed detection, see "Adjustment Settings for Operators", Maintenance and Management.
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 "0310 Correct Output Paper Curl", Maintenance and Management.
Depending on the paper's size, weight, and type, the copy/print speed may be slower than usual.
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 Recommended Paper Sizes and Types. For the setting procedure of the Auto Tray Switching function, see General Features.
The paper types you can select in Tray Paper Settings are only general classifications. Print quality for every kind of paper in a classification is not guaranteed. For details, see Unusable Paper.
If the surface of the paper is dusty, white spots might appear on prints. To remove dust, fan the paper thoroughly.
When loading label paper:
Select [Label Paper] for [Paper Type] in [Tray Paper Settings], and select an appropriate paper weight under [Paper Weight].
When loading transparencies:
When copying onto transparencies, see "Copying onto transparencies", Basic Operations.
To print on transparencies, select [Transparency] for [Paper Type] in [Tray Paper Settings].
When you load transparencies, check the front and back of the sheets, and place them correctly, or a misfeed might occur.
Fan transparencies thoroughly whenever you use them. This prevents transparencies from sticking together, and from feeding incorrectly.
Remove copied or printed sheets one by one.
When outputting to the high capacity stacker, specify the output tray as the stacker upper tray. For details, see "General Features", Device Management.
When loading translucent paper:
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 "0310 Correct Output Paper Curl", Maintenance and Management.
Remove copied or printed sheets one by one.
When loading coated paper:
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: Matte] for [Paper Type]. For details about the settings for using coated paper with custom paper, see Registering Custom Paper.
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: Matte] as the paper type and select an appropriate paper weight under [Paper Weight].
When using carbonless paper, note the following:
Carbonless paper can be used only when Two-tray Wide LCT is used along with Finisher SR5110 or Booklet Finisher SR5120 for post-processing.
When using carbonless paper, you can attach no option except the high capacity stacker between the machine and Finisher SR5110 or Booklet Finisher SR5120.
Duplex printing cannot be performed.
Some types of carbonless paper have expiration dates. Purchase the amount you can use within the time limit. Contact your paper retailer regarding the expiration dates and storage methods.
Depending on the paper weight or direction of the paper, paper jams may occur when reverse output or duplex printing is performed. If the paper jams when thick long-grain paper is used, either cancel the reverse output or duplex print settings, or to use short-grain or thin paper.
