Loading paper
Paper guidelines _______________________________
• Be sure to load paper of the correct size, weight, and quantity recommended for your fax
(see pp. 3-3, S-1).
• Store all paper wrapped and on a flat surface until ready to use. Keep opened packs in their
original packaging, in a cool, dry location.
• Store paper at 18º-24ºC, 40%-60% relative humidity.
• To avoid paper jams and poor print quality, do not print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn
paper.
• Use cut-sheet paper only, not paper that comes on a roll.
• Use only paper that has a thickness of between 0.09 and 0.13 mm. Thick paper may damage
the BJ cartridge print head.
• Do not load paper beyond the paper limit mark ( ) on the paper guide. Doing so may cause
problems. Also, make sure there are no gaps on either side of the paper stack.
• Let the paper run out before refilling the multi-purpose tray. Avoid mixing new stock with
paper already loaded.
• Do not leave paper stacked in the multi-purpose tray for long periods of time since it may bend
or curl and cause problems.
• Certain environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures or humidity, can cause some
paper to misfeed in the multi-purpose tray. If you have trouble, feed one sheet at a time.
• Depending on the density of the printed pages, the ink may need time to dry. Within two or
three seconds, the ink becomes smudge-resistant. After drying for several minutes, the ink
becomes water-resistant.
• If your printed page contains a large amount of graphics, the ink on the page may be damp due
to the print density. Let the page dry for approx. 30 to 60 seconds. Then remove the page
carefully without touching any surfaces.
• If paper curls after printing, remove it immediately; otherwise paper jams may occur.
• The platen (a roller inside the fax) may become inked if paper misfeeds. If this happens, clean
inside the fax (see p. 9-2).
