Thick paper
This section gives you various details about and recommendations concerning thick paper.
When loading thick paper of 127.5–360.0 g/m
2
(47.0 lb. Cover–198.0 lb. Index), follow the
recommendations below to prevent misfeeds and loss of image quality.
• When loading paper in the paper trays, be sure to load at least 20 sheets. Also, be sure to position
the side fences flush against the paper stack.
• When printing on thick smooth paper, be sure to fan the paper thoroughly before loading it. Even if
you fan the paper, it may start to stick together again gradually, and paper jams and misfeeds may
result. 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:
