Thick paper

This section gives you various details about and recommendations concerning thick paper.
When loading thick paper of 163.1 g/m
bypass tray (Tray 7), or Trays 4 and 5 of the LCT, follow the recommendations below to prevent
misfeeds and loss of image quality.
• When loading thick paper into Trays 1–3, be sure to load at least 20 sheets. Also, be sure to
position the side fences flush against the paper stack.
• Jams and misfeeds can occur when printing on thick smooth paper. To prevent such problems, be
sure to fan smooth paper thoroughly before loading them. If paper continues to become jammed or
feed in together even after they are fanned, load them one by one from the multi bypass tray (Tray
7).
• When loading thick paper, set the paper direction according to its grain, as shown in the following
diagram. Not doing so might cause a paper jam, marked edges or the paper edges to be folded.
