Environmental conditions may require that coated paper be fed one at a time through Tray 5 (Bypass). Relative Humidity greater than 40%
could cause multifeeds. Oversize High Capacity Feeder Option (OHCF) prevents multifeeds for Coated 1, Coated 2 and Coated 3 modes when
Relative Humidity is greater than 40%. Output may require removal at 25 sheets of coated media in the tray when not using a finisher.
Oversize High Capacity Feeder Option is recommended for optimal feeding performance of Coated 2 Side (C2S) media. Coated 1, Coated 2 and
Coated 3 modes prevent multifeeds, especially in high humidity environments. Coated 1 Side (C1S) media has best feeding performance in
high humidity when using Coated 2 or Coated 3 mode. In low humidity environment, Heavyweight 2 or Heavyweight 3 mode may yield better
image quality.
For Manual Duplex, it may help to manually remove curl after printing side 1 before placing sheets into feeder for side 2.
