Print quality will decrease if the paper you are using is close to the minimum or maximum weight.
Change the paper weight setting to thinner or thicker.
• Recommended paper: Paper with calcium carbonate (CaCO3) ratio of 15% or less.
• Certain types of paper, such as OHP transparencies, may produce noise when delivered. This
noise does not indicate a problem and print quality is unaffected.
• The paper capacity described in the tables above is an example. Actual paper capacity might be
lower, depending on the paper type.
• When loading paper, make sure the stack height does not exceed the limit mark of the paper tray.
• If multiple sheet feeding occurs, fan sheets thoroughly or load sheets one by one from the bypass
tray.
• Flatten out curled sheets before loading them.
• Depending on the paper sizes and types, the copy/print speed may be slower than usual.
• When loading envelopes, see "Loading Envelopes", Paper Specifications and Adding Paper .
• When loading thick paper of 106–162 g/m

(28 lb. Bond–90 lb. Index), see page 93 "Thick
Paper".
• We recommend that you use specified label paper.
• When loading OHP transparencies:
• If multiple sheet feeding occurs, place one sheet at a time.
• When copying onto OHP transparencies, see "Copying onto OHP Transparencies", Copy .
• When printing on OHP transparencies from the computer, see "Specifying thick paper or OHP
transparencies for paper type using the control panel", Paper Specifications and Adding
Paper .
• Fan OHP transparencies thoroughly whenever you use them. This prevents OHP
transparencies from sticking together, and from feeding incorrectly.
• Remove copied or printed sheets one by one.
