■ Types of paper to avoid
•
Extremely smooth or shiny paper or paper that is highly textured
• Letterhead imprinted with low temperature or thermography. These
materials may transfer onto the fusing roller and cause damage.
Any pre-printed paper should use inks compatible with 200°C (392°F) for
0.1 second.
• Damaged or wrinkled paper, or paper with irregularities such as tabs,
staples, etc.
• Multipart forms or carbonless paper
• Paper with a 25% or more cotton and/or fiber content
• Ink jet paper (It may transfer onto the fuser roller and cause damage.)
■ Two-sided printing (Duplex printing)
Two-sided printing is possible by using the multi-purpose tray. However,
you should not expect the same print quality and reliability that you get with
one-sided printing. We strongly recommend that you follow the guidelines
below.
• Do not load more than 50 sheets in the multi-purpose tray.
• Before loading paper in the multi-purpose tray, adjust it so that the edges
of the media are lightly touching the media guides of the multi-purpose
tray.
• Use heavier paper, at least 95 to 165 g/m
2
(28 to 44 lbs. Bond) for reliable
feed. Do not load a thin sheet of paper in the multi-purpose tray. It may
cause a paper jam.
• It is strongly suggested to use color laser bond paper.
• Use multi-purpose tray for second side printing.
• Avoid printing photograph or graphic in solid color to prevent paper
jamming. It may cause a damage to the printer.
• Before printing on the first side, set the unprintable area [at least 15 mm
(0.59") in length] on the top of paper. (See below.)

It is strongly recommended
that the sizes of photograph
and graphic printed on the
page are as small as
possible.
