Paper

Paper of the types or in the conditions listed below are not recommended for this
machine.

 Folded, curled, creased, or damaged paper.

 Torn paper

 Damp paper

 Perforated paper

 Paper with conductive or low electrical resistance such as carbon or silver coating.

 Wavy paper

 Thermal paper, art paper

 Thin paper that has low stiffness

Use the bypass tray to copy/print onto OHP transparencies, adhesive labels,
translucent paper, and post cards. Before making copies/prints onto them, read
the following:

 Adhesive labels should be fed from the bypass tray one sheet at a time.

 OHP transparencies should be fed from the bypass tray. You can set ten

   sheets at a time. However, if misfeed or multi-feed occurs, set one sheet at a time.

 OHP transparencies should be fanned to get air between the sheets before loading.

 Translucent paper should be fed from the bypass tray.

 Translucent paper should be fanned to get air between the sheets and any curls

   should be corrected before loading.

 Post cards should be fed from the bypass tray.

 It is recommended to feed one post card at a time.

 Correct any curl in post cards before loading.

For good copy/print quality, please use the type of OHP transparencies recom-
mended by your sales and service representatives.

When using the bypass tray, the large capacity tray cannot be used.

Do not touch paper if your fingers are wet or oily; finger prints may appear on the
copy/print.

Do not use paper that has been already copied/printed on.

Do not set paper over the limit mark inside the tray.

To avoid problems caused by curly papres, try turning over the paper stack in the
500-sheet or large capacity tray. If there is no improvement, change to paper with
less curl.

Load paper with the copy side 

down in the 500-sheet trays, and with the copy

side 

up in the large capacity tray. If copies are curled, try turning the copy paper

over in the tray. If there is no improvement, change the copy paper with less curl.
