Unusable Paper

CAUTION

  • Do not use stapled sheets of paper, aluminum foil, carbon paper, or any kind of conductive paper. Doing so can result in fire.
Paper causing faults

Do not use any of the following kinds of treated paper. Doing so may cause faults.

  • Paper for inkjet printers

  • Thermal paper

  • Art paper

  • Aluminum foil

  • Carbon paper

  • Conductive paper

  • Paper with perforated lines

  • Hemmed-edge paper

  • Window envelopes

  • Tab stock

  • OHP transparencies for color printing

Do not copy or print onto sides that are already printed.

Paper causing paper jam

Do not use the following kinds of paper. It may cause a paper jam.

  • Bent, folded, or creased paper

  • Perforated paper

  • Slippery paper

  • Torn paper

  • Rough paper

  • Thin paper with little stiffness

  • Paper with a dusty surface

If you use paper curled by humidity or drying, the paper may jam.

Do not load sheets that have already been printed onto by another machine. Doing so may interfere with loading of paper because the powder for preventing offset may attach to the paper roller.

Note

  • A paper jam may occur depending on the condition of the paper even when using the recommended paper.

Paper Storage

When storing paper, the following precautions should always be followed:

  • Do not store paper where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.

  • Store paper in a dry environment (humidity: 70% or less).

  • Store on a flat surface.

  • Do not store paper vertically.

  • Once opened, store paper in a plastic bag.

Section Top

Saving Printouts

  • Prints will fade if exposed to strong light or dampness and humidity for extended periods of time. Preserve the quality of your copies by storing them in a binder in a dark, dry place.

  • When folding prints, toner in the folds will come off.

  • If the prints are stored in the conditions described below, toner may melt:

    • When a print and a half-dried print are put on top of each other

    • When solvent-type adhesive agents are used for pasting prints

    • When prints are placed on mats made of chlorinated plastic in locations of high temperature for long periods of time

    • When prints are placed in locations of extremely high temperatures, such as near a heater
