Thick paper and other kinds of special printing media
should be used in manual feed mode. The approximate
thicknesses of paper that can be used in manual feed
mode or automatic feed mode are as follows:
Caution:
Never use paper in the sheet feeder with thickness outside
the range 0.07 mm - 0.10 mm (0.003" - 0.004") in
automatic feed mode. In manual feed mode, never use
paper whose thickness is outside the range 0.07 mm - 0.23
mm (0.003" - 0.01"). Doing so may cause paper jams or
damage to the printer.
Paper jams can be caused by feeding in paper that is ex-
tremely smooth or shiny, too rough, or paper that easily
picks up static electricity. Paper jams and other paper
feed problems can tear the ribbons in ink cartridges.
To avoid such problems, please note the following pre-
cautions:
• Always use the recommended paper types, and
be sure to set the printer’s paper options properly.
Settings that are not appropriate for the paper
being used can cause paper jams.
• When printing on Dye Sublimation Paper, use
only Dye Sublimation ink cartridges. Be sure to
confine your printing to the glossy printable area
only. If you print outside this area, you may dam-
age the ink cartridge.
• When printing on a thick sheet, or an irregular
postcard-size sheet allow a 1/2 inch (12 mm)
margin on the left and right side to prevent print-
ing over the paper edge, this could result in tear-
ing the ink cartridge ribbon.
• When printing on used sheets (already printed on
the same side), use manual feed only. Automatic
feed may not feed used sheets properly. When
using manual feed, avoid repeatedly inserting and
removing the same sheet.
Loading paper in automatic feed mode
Use automatic feed mode for continuous printing.
There are two methods for loading paper, depending on
the media.
Feed Mode Min. Max.
Automatic 0.07mm (0.003") 0.10mm (0.004")
Manual 0.07mm (0.003") 0.23mm (0.01")
