Depending on the type of thin paper, the edges may crease or the paper may be misfed.
• Certain types of paper, such as translucent paper or OHP transparencies, may produce noise
when delivered. This noise does not indicate a problem and print quality is unaffected.
•
The paper capacity described in the tables above is an example. Actual paper capacity might be
lower, depending on the paper type.
•
When loading paper, make sure the stack height does not exceed the limit mark of the paper tray.
•
If multiple sheet feeding occurs, fan sheets thoroughly or load sheets one by one from the bypass
tray.

• When copying or printing onto letterhead paper, the paper placing orientation is different
depending on which function you are using. For details, see page 169 "Loading Orientation-fixed

• If you load paper of the same size and same type in two or more trays, the machine automatically
feeds from one of the trays in which [Yes] is selected for [Apply Auto Paper Select] when the first
tray in use runs out of paper. This function is called Auto Tray Switching. This saves interrupting a
copy run to replenish paper when making a large number of copies. You can specify the paper
type of the paper trays under [Paper Type]. For details, see "Tray Paper Settings", Connecting the
Machine/ System Settings. For the setting procedure of the Auto Tray Switching function, see
"General Features", Copy/ Document Server.
• When loading label paper:
• We recommend that you use specified label paper.
• Press [Bypass], and then select the appropriate paper thickness for [Paper Type].
