Print quality will decrease if the paper you are using is close to the minimum or maximum weight.
Change the paper weight setting to thinner or thicker.
• 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 sizes and types, the print speed may be slower than usual.
