paper
• Copy capability is greatly influenced by the ambient temperature, so printing must be
performed under the conditions shown below:
∗ Original + 4 copies: 20 to 45° C {68 to 113° F}
∗ Original + 1 to 3 copies: 5 to 45° C {41 to 113° F}
• The slip paper must be flat, without curls or wrinkles, especially at the top edges.
• There must be no glue on the bottom edge of slip paper. Choose slip paper carefully
since paper feeding is affected by gluing conditions such as position and dimension.
Paper insertion direction
• Use thinner paper (N30 or equivalent) between the top and bottom sheets of multi-ply
paper. If thick paper is used, the copy capability is lowered.
