Direction of paper grain
Trays 1, 2, or the Wide
LCT
Multi bypass tray (Tray A)
Short grain
• Even if paper is loaded as described above, normal operations and print quality might still not be
possible, depending on the paper type.
• When loading 40.0–52.3 g/m
2
(11.0 lb. Bond–14.0 lb. Bond) paper into paper trays or loading
translucent paper into the wide LCT or the multi bypass tray (Tray A), always use long grain paper.
• Before loading paper into a tray, check the paper size and type that can be loaded in the tray,
and confirm the paper size that is automatically detected.
page 98 "Recommended Paper Sizes and Types"
• When loading paper of a size that is not automatically detected, specify the paper size in the
paper settings on the [Media] hub.
page 95 "Specifying the Paper Size That Is Not Automatically Detected"
• Check the paper setting before printing. If the paper differs from the paper setting, a mismatch error
will occur when you print.
• While printing, do not change the paper size of the tray that is specified as the destination.
• If the surface of the paper is dusty, white spots might appear on prints. To remove dust, fan the
paper thoroughly.
• Straighten curled or warped paper before loading.
• If long grain paper does not uncurl properly, try short grain paper instead.
• To prevent more than one sheet of paper being fed together in a bundle, fan the sheets thoroughly
before setting them on the paper tray. If more than one sheet of paper is fed together at a time, it
may cause a paper jam.
• If the sheets of paper are in close contact with each other, causing a multi feed to occur, remove
the paper from the tray, fan the paper thoroughly, and then load it on the tray again.
• When loading paper on a tray which has a few sheets of paper, multiple sheets of paper may be
fed at once from the tray. Take out all sheets, fan the sheets, and then load them again.
• When you load paper into the paper tray for the first time or when you change the type of paper in
the paper tray, be sure to specify the appropriate paper settings on the [Media] hub or in the [Tray
Status] tile of the [Home] hub.

• You may hear the sound of rubbing paper. This is not a malfunction.
