• Copy capability is greatly influenced by the ambient temperature, so printing must be
performed under the conditions shown below:
∗ Original + 4 copies: 20 to 45°
C {68 to 113° F}
∗ Original + 1 to 3 copies: 5 to 45°
C {41 to 113° F}
• The slip paper must be flat, without curls or wrinkles, especially at the top edges.
• There must be no glue on the bottom edge of slip paper. Choose slip paper carefully
since paper feeding is affected by gluing conditions such as position and dimension.
• Use thinner paper (N30 or equivalent) between the top and bottom sheets of multi-ply
paper. If thick paper is used, the copy capability is lowered.
