• Flatten out curled sheets before loading them.
• Depending on the paper sizes and types, the copy/print speed may be slower than usual.
• When loading thick paper of 106–157 g/m
• When loading envelopes, see page 161 "Envelopes".
• When copying or printing onto letterhead paper, the paper placing orientation is different
depending on which function you are using. For details, see page 150 "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]. For details, see "Tray Paper Settings", Connecting the
Machine/ System Settings. For the setting procedure of the Auto Tray Switching function, see
"General Features", Copy/ Document Server.
• When loading label paper:
• We recommend that you use specified label paper.
• It is recommended to place one sheet at a time.

• When loading OHP transparencies:
• We recommend that you use specified OHP transparencies.
• When copying onto OHP transparencies, see "Copying onto OHP Transparencies", Copy/
Document Server.
• When printing on OHP transparencies from the computer, see page 147 "Specifying thick
paper, thin paper, or OHP transparencies for paper type using the control panel".
• Fan OHP transparencies thoroughly whenever you use them. This prevents OHP
transparencies from sticking together, and from feeding incorrectly.
• Remove copied or printed sheets one by one.
• When loading translucent paper:
• It is recommended to place one sheet at a time.
• 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.
• Remove copied or printed sheets one by one.
