Recommended Paper Sizes and Types
The recommended paper sizes and types for each tray are as described below.
For the product names of options, see Abbreviated Names of Options.
If you use paper that curls, either because it is too dry or too damp, a staple clogging or paper jam may occur.
When you load transparencies, check the front and back of the sheets, and place them correctly, or a misfeed might occur.
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.
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. To specify whether the machine continues or stops printing after detecting a double-feed of paper, use [JAM099] in [1331: Jam Detection] of the adjustment item for custom paper. To specify whether to detect a double feed of paper in Interposer, use [21: Finishing: Interposer]
[2101: Detect JAM573] / [2101: Detect JAM574] in Adjustment Settings for Operators on the [Printer Adjustment] hub. However, depending on the condition of the paper, the machine may not detect a multi-sheet feed correctly.Depending on the paper's size, weight, and type, the print speed may be slower than usual.

A paper jam may occur when ejecting paper inverted or performing duplex printing depending on the paper weight and the direction of paper grain. When a paper jam occurs while using thick paper of long grain, cancel duplex printing and the setting for ejecting the paper inverted, or change the paper to paper of short grain or thinner paper.

Unusable Paper
- Do not use stapled sheets of paper, aluminum foil, carbon paper, or any kind of conductive paper. Doing so can result in fire.
Paper causing faults
Do not use any of the following kinds of treated paper. Doing so may cause faults.
Thermal paper
Carbon paper
OHP transparencies
Conductive paper including silver, metallic, and pearl paper
You can feed certain types of paper if it is tested and evaluated to be usable on the machine.
Do not use the following types of paper. Using these types of paper may lead to poor print quality or a malfunction of the machine. Use verified paper only.
Paper with borders along the edges
The sensor in the machine may malfunction.
Inkjet printer paper
Heat in the fusing process may cause the coated material to melt, resulting in a malfunction.
Envelopes with a window
Heat applied in the printing process may cause the film in the window to melt, resulting in a malfunction.
Envelopes with glue
Glue may adhere to the inside of the machine, resulting in a malfunction. Also, the release paper may peel off inside the machine, resulting in a malfunction.
Paper with perforated lines
A problem with feeding paper or print quality may occur.
Paper causing paper jam
Do not use the following kinds of paper. It may cause a paper jam.
Bent, folded, or creased paper
Torn paper
Paper with a dusty surface
Do not load paper in the following conditions on the perfect binder, interposer, or wide LCT. Doing so may cause the machine to malfunction.
Heavily curled
Bound by a staple or paper clip
Ripped
Cardstock
Label paper*1
Text or drawing penciled
Creased
Printing on coarse or uneven paper may result in blurred images.
Do not load sheets that have already been printed onto by another machine. (Sheets can become jammed if they have been improperly stored.)
If you use paper curled by humidity or drying, the paper or staple may jam.
Do not load sheets that have already been printed onto by another machine. Doing so may interfere with loading of paper because the powder for preventing offset may attach to the paper roller.
Some kinds of colored paper cannot be used depending on the color of the paper. For details, contact your service representative.
*1 These are supported by Interposer and wide LCT.
A paper jam may occur depending on the condition of the paper even when using the recommended paper.
Paper Storage
Temperature, humidity, other environmental factors, and the method of paper storage all greatly affect the paper's condition.
The moisture content of paper changes as the temperature changes, causing the paper to curl and become wavy. It may also affect the paper length and cause shrinkage. The changes in the condition of the paper may cause paper jams, wrinkles or image misalignment on Sides 1 and 2.
When storing paper, the following precautions should always be followed:
Do not store paper where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Store all your paper in the same environment - a room where the temperature is 20–25°C (68–77°F) and the humidity is 30–65%.
Store on a flat surface.
Do not store paper vertically.
If there is a large temperature difference between the storage area and the area near the machine, keep some paper near the machine for a few days before you use it, so it can adjust to the temperature near the machine.
Once a package of paper is open, seal it completely in a plastic bag or moisture-proof paper to prevent it from absorbing moisture from the air.
Do not expose the paper to direct sunlight.
If stacking directions are indicated on paper boxes, stack the boxes according to the directions. Do not stack paper on end, even if it is still in the box.
Do not place paper on the floor. Keep paper on a surface such as a palette, table, or cabinet in a temperature and humidity controlled room.
Keep paper tightly sealed in a bag made of anti-humidity material even if the package of paper has not been opened yet. If sheets of paper are not stored in an anti-humidity bag, store them in a plastic bag and tightly seal it.
Saving Printouts
Prints will fade if exposed to strong light or dampness and humidity for extended periods of time. Preserve the quality of your copies by storing them in a binder in a dark, dry place.
When folding prints, toner in the folds will come off.
If the prints are stored in the conditions described below, toner may melt:
When a print and a half-dried print are put on top of each other
When solvent-type adhesive agents are used for pasting prints
When prints are placed on mats made of chlorinated plastic in locations of high temperature for long periods of time
When prints are placed in locations of extremely high temperatures, such as near a heater
