Even if the paper is within the machine’s “paper size” and “paper weight” specications, the paper may not be able to pass through
the machine because of the paper’s texture, or conditions such as the environment or storage conditions. For details, please contact
your dealer (or authorized service representative).

Paper Storage and Handling
• Always use paper from a sealed package. After nishing the print job, return the unused paper from the standard tray to the
package and store. If you leave the paper in the standard paper feed tray, the paper may curl and cause paper jamming.
•
If the paper is not cut very well or if the paper has a textured surface (such as drawing paper), fan the paper before use.
• Store the paper horizontally in a place with low humidity.
How you handle the originals and the paper will
signicantly aect the copy and print output. It is also
important to know the correct
handling methods and
conditions, because doing so
will prevent problems such as
paper jamming. This section
