multi purpose tray.
Selection of Special Paper
Special paper that satisfies the conditions shown on and after the next page can be used in this
machine. However, since special paper differs significantly in paper composition and quality, special
paper is more likely to cause problems than standard paper during printing. When using special
paper, perform trial printing using this machine and check to see if the results are satisfactory before
purchasing it. Notes in printing for principal types of special paper are described on and after the
next page. Kyocera Mita shall not be liable for any danger to a person or machine that is caused by
using special paper (e.g., special paper affected by moisture).
