(47.0 lb.
Bond–165.0 lb. Index) in the bypass tray or wide LCT, follow the recommendations below to prevent
misfeeds and loss of image quality.
• When loading thick paper in Trays 1–3, 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 smooth paper. To prevent such problems, be
sure to fan smooth paper thoroughly before loading them. If paper continues 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
diagram:

for the tray in [Tray Paper Settings].
• Even if thick paper is loaded as described above, normal operations and print quality might still not
be possible, depending on the paper type.
