Using Custom Paper > Operation Flow
Operation Flow
The steps required to print from the machine using custom paper are as follows.
1
Load custom paper in the paper source.
2
Set the paper size, type, and weight.
3
Perform a trial print and check the result.
• If a paper jam occurs, adjust the main unit paper feeding speed or ink discharge distance.
• If double-feeding or non-feeding occurs, adjust the flow of the paper feeder fan.
• If the printouts are not output properly due to paper curl, adjust the degree of the curl.
• If skewed folding of the leading edge of the paper occurs, or creases appear, use the test
chart to correct the problem.
• If the print start positions on the front side and back side are out of place, use the test chart
to correct the positions.
• If there is color drift on only the leading edge or trailing edge of the paper, use the test chart
to adjust the paper feeding speed.
When printing on paper of a size different from the wasted paper, load the paper in
cassette 2 and specify cassette 2 as the paper source.
