Precautions on Paper Use
Unsupported Paper
Do not use the following paper. It may damage the machine.
• Paper preprinted with ink whose chemical properties can be altered by heat at fusing
• Plastic films that can easily get deformed by heat at fusing
• Inkjet paper
• Business-card-size paper
• Folded or wrinkled paper
• Damp or wavy damp paper
• 12 mm or more curled paper
• Thermal paper, Heat-transfer paper
• Window envelope
There are some unsupported papers other than the one listed above. For more information,
contact your dealer or nearest SHARP Service Department.
Storing Paper
Paper is easy to get moist by the open air and to be deformed by the impact. Therefore, be sure
to note the following:
• Store paper in a dry place. Using paper that has absorbed moisture can cause paper jams and
image quality defects.
• Using paper that has been stored in a low temperature environment may cause poor fusing. It
is recommended to store paper in an environment where the temperature is 16˚C or more.
• Using coated paper that has been stored in a high temperature and high humidity environment
might cause misfeeds or multifeeds.
• Once you have opened a pack of paper, it is recommended to reseal the remaining paper with
a moisture-proof wrapper or plastic bag with zipper.
• Store paper flat to prevent from bending or warping.
• Keep papers out of direct sunlight.
Handling Paper
• Do not load a bunch of sheets that were once separate and then put together.
• Do not use folded or wrinkled paper.
• Do not load mixed sizes or types together into the Paper Tray.
• Fan Transparencies, films, or coated paper well before loading in a Paper Tray. These types of
paper may be jammed or multifeed (multiple sheets transferred simultaneously). Also, setting
Tray Air Assist feature may help improving its feeding performance when using High Capacity
Trays / Air Trays / Long Paper Tray.
Note
• Paper absorbs moisture if the paper is left in a Paper Tray for a long time under highly humid conditions. Paper
with excessive moisture may cause paper jams and image quality defects when it goes through the machine. It
is recommended to remove all such paper from the Paper Tray, and replace it with fresh paper.
• Do not use damp paper, paper left unwrapped for long periods of time, and/or paper having excessive curl.
