Paper Orientation
Thick paper has a paper direction according to its grain. Set the paper direction according to the
grain, as shown in the following diagram:
Direction of paper grain
Paper Storage
• Temperature: 20–25°C (68–77°F)
• Humidity: 30–65%
Do not use together paper that has been stored in different environments.
Minimum Number of Sheets
• 20 sheets or more (paper trays of the machine/optional paper tray unit used)
After loading paper, position the side fences flush against the paper stack.
• When printing on thick, smooth paper, be sure to fan the paper thoroughly before loading. If you
do not fan thick paper, jams and misfeeds can occur. If paper continues to become jammed or
feed in together even after they are fanned, load them one by one from the bypass tray.
• Proper performance and quality may not be achieved under the recommended conditions
depending on the paper.
• The printed sheet may curl. If the printed sheet curls, correct it.
