The standard cassettes
The 2 standard cassettes will each hold plain paper, recycled paper or color paper.

media type and paper weight settings. (Refer to Specifying Paper Size and Media Type for the Cassettes on
page 2-40, Media Type Setting on page 9-8.)
The cassettes can hold paper with weights between 60 and 220 g/m

(for the 30/30 ppm or 35/35 ppm) or
between 60 and 256 g/m
2
(for the 45/45 ppm or 55/50 ppm). If you are using a paper weight between 106
and 220 g/m

(for the 30/30 ppm or 35/35 ppm) or between 106 and 256 g/m
2
(for the 45/45 ppm or 55/
50 ppm), set the media type to Thick and set the weight of the paper you are using.
• Do not load thick paper that is heavier than 256 g/m

in the cassettes. Use the multi purpose tray for paper
that is heavier than 256 g/m
2
.
• If you wish to use 330 × 210 mm to 356 × 220 mm paper, contact a service technician.
