Change the paper weight setting to thinner or thicker.

When loading paper of 52.3–65.9 g/m
2
(14.0–17.9 lb. Bond), the edges may crease or the paper
misfeed depending on the paper type.
• 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.
• Flatten out curled sheets before loading them.
• Depending on the paper's size, weight, and type, the copy/print speed may be slower than usual.
• When loading thick paper of 127.5–300.0 g/m
2
(47.0 lb. Cover–165.0 lb. Index), see
page 159 "Thick Paper".
• When loading envelopes, see page 159 "Envelopes".
• When copying or printing onto letterhead paper, the paper placing orientation is different
depending on which function you are using. For details, see page 143 "Loading Orientation-fixed
Paper or Two-sided Paper".
• 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
Recommended Paper Sizes and Types
