• You should not use inkjet printer paper or any paper with a special surface coating. (Such papers may
cause paper jams or other faults.)

media type setting. (Refer to Specifying Paper Size and Media Type for the Cassettes on page 2-36
)
The cassettes can hold paper with weights up to 163 g/m

1 Pull the cassette completely out of the machine.
IMPORTANT: When pulling the cassette out of the
machine, ensure it is supported and does not fall out.

are using is visible. The paper size set here is
recognized by the machine.
IMPORTANT: To use a paper size that does not
appear on the size dial, set the size dial to "Other". The
paper size must also be set from the operation panel.
For details, see Specifying Paper Size and Media on
page 2-36.
