Thick Paper

Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Some types of paper have rough edges on
the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat place and rub the edges once or
twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth them. Feeding rough edged paper may cause paper jams.

Colored Paper

Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper, refer to Paper Specifications on page A-13. In
addition, the pigments used in the paper must be able to withstand the heat of fusing during the printing process (up to
200 °C or 392 °F).

Preprinted Paper

Preprinted paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper, refer to Paper Specifications on page A-13. The
preprinted ink must be able to withst a nd the heat of fusing duri n g the printing process, and must not be af f ected by silicone
oil. Do not use paper with any kind of surface treatment, such as the type of paper commonly used for calendars.

Recycled Paper

Select recycled paper that meets the same specifications as the white bond paper except for whiteness, refer to Paper
Specifications on page A-13.
Note Before purchasing recycled paper, test a sample on the machine and check that the printing quality is
satisfactory.
Note If the paper jams even after you smooth it out, load the
paper in the MP tray with the leading edge rose up a few
millimeters as shown in the illustration.
