Paper Recommendations

Loading Paper

❒ Do not use ink-jet printer paper because it may stick to the fusing unit and
cause a paper misfeed.
❒ Set the paper as described below
• Tray 1, Paper Feed Unit (Tray 2, Tray 3): Print side facing up
• Bypass Tray: Print side facing down
❒ Print quality cannot be guaranteed if paper other than the ones recommended
is used. For more information about recommended paper, contact your sales
or service representative.
❒ Do not use paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.

Storing Paper

• Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might result
in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommendations
are as follows:
• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.
• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.
• Store on a flat surface.
• Keep paper in the package in which the paper came.
