Recommended Paper Sizes and Types
The recommended paper sizes and types for each paper input location are as described below.
If you use paper that curls, either because it is too dry or too damp, a paper jam may occur.
Use only translucent (vellum) paper and matte film that are intended for use in inkjet printers.
The sizes of paper that can be printed from the paper input locations differ according to the paper type. Plain paper and recycled paper up to 33,000 mm (1299.2 inches) can be printed on, and other types of paper up to 3,600 mm (141.8 inches) can be printed on.

Load a paper roll into Paper Input Location 1 that meets the following conditions:
Width of more than 841 mm (33.2 inches)
Paper thickness of 0.150 mm (0.006 inches) or more
Paper weight of 120 g/m2 (32 lb.) or more

Unusable Paper
- 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.
Thermal paper
Art paper
Aluminum foil
Carbon paper
Conductive paper
Translucent (vellum) paper for electrophotography
Paper with perforated lines
Envelopes
Tab stock
OHP transparencies
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
Adhesive labels
Paper that has weak adhesive tape or glue holding its trailing edge to its core.
If you copy or print onto rough grain paper, the output image might be blurred.
When using non-recommended paper (especially chemically treated paper, or hemmed paper), paper jams may occur, paper wrinkle, or output image deteriorate.
Do not load sheets that have already been printed. (Sheets can become jammed if they have been improperly stored.)
Do not copy or print on both sides of paper.
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.
Handling Paper
Depending on the humidity of the storage environment, handle paper as follows:
Humidity | State of paper | Try this... |
|---|---|---|
High humidity | Part of the image is lost, or a multi-sheet feed or wrinkling occurs on both translucent (vellum) and normal paper. |
|
 | Part of the image is lost on both translucent (vellum) and normal paper. |
|
70–40% (Normal conditions) |
| |
 | Part of the image is lost on translucent (vellum) paper. |
|
Low humidity | Part of the image is lost, or a multi-sheet feed or wrinkling occurs on both translucent (vellum) and normal paper. |
|
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.
Ink may melt when using solvent type adhesive agents for pasting prints.
