Thick Paper
This section gives you various details about and recommendations concerning thick paper.
When loading thick paper of 106–216 g/m
2
(28 lb. Bond–80 lb. Cover) in trays 1–4, Tray 3 (LCT),
the large capacity tray (LCT), or in the bypass tray, follow the recommendations below to prevent
misfeeds and loss of image quality.
• Store all your paper in the same environment - a room where the temperature is 20–25 °C (68–
77 °F) and the humidity is 30–65%.
• When loading thick paper in trays 1–4, be sure to load at least 20 sheets. Also, be sure to position
the side fences flush against the paper stack.
• Jams and misfeeds can occur when printing on thick glossy sheets. To prevent such problems, be
sure to fan glossy sheets thoroughly before loading them. If sheets continue to become jammed or
feed in together even after they are fanned, load them one by one from the bypass tray.
• When loading thick paper, set the paper direction according to its grain, as shown in the following
