Recommended Paper Sizes and Types
The recommended paper sizes and types for each tray are as described below.
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.

Paper causing faults
Do not use any of the following kinds of treated paper. Doing so may cause faults.
Paper for inkjet printers
Thermal paper
Aluminum foil
Carbon paper
Conductive paper
Paper with perforated lines
Hemmed-edge paper
Window envelopes
Tab stock
Certain types of OHP transparencies for color printing
Do not copy or print onto sides that are already printed.
Paper causing paper jam
Do not use the following kinds of paper. It may cause a paper jam.
Bent, folded, or creased paper
Perforated paper
Slippery paper
Torn paper
Rough paper
Thin paper with little stiffness
Paper with a dusty surface
Do not use the copied or printed paper again. It may cause paper jam.
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.
A paper jam may occur depending on the condition of the paper even when using the recommended paper.
Paper Storage
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.
Once opened, store paper in a plastic bag.
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
