Recommended Conditions for Loading Thick Paper
When loading thick paper of 129–200 g/m2 (Approx. 34 lb. Bond–74 lb. Cover) in the paper trays, or in the bypass tray, follow the recommendations below to prevent misfeeds and loss of image quality.
Paper Storage
Temperature: 20–25°C (68–77°F)
Humidity: 30–65%.
Do not use together paper that has been stored in different environments.
After loading paper, position the side fences flush against the paper stack.
When printing on thick, smooth paper, be sure to fan the paper thoroughly before loading. If you do not fan thick paper, jams and misfeeds can occur. If paper continues to become jammed or feed in together even after they are fanned, load them one by one from the bypass tray.
Proper performance and quality may not be achieved under the recommended conditions depending on the paper.
The printed sheet may curl. If the printed sheet curls, correct it.
