Tips for Better Paper Feeding
To prevent paper jams and misfeeds, follow the directions below:
• When using special paper or when the print-out image becomes uneven, adjustments can be made with [Paper
Ejection Adjustment]. p.77 "Setting the Output for Printing with Special Paper [Paper Ejection Adjustment]"
• When multiple-sheet feeding or skipped paper occurs, turn the [Stripper Plate Angle Adjustment dial] (three) or the
[Paper Stripping Pressure Adjustment dial] (three). Set all three dials to the same setting. p.137 "Troubleshooting"
If skipped paper persists, set the Paper Feed Pressure Adjustment lever as shown in the figure. p.136
"Troubleshooting"
• Ensure the Feed Tray Paper Guides and Receiving Tray Paper Guides are set according to the size of the printing
paper. p.26 "Preparing to Print (Printer Machine Side)"
• Use unfolded flat printing paper. When curled printing paper needs to be used, place the printing paper with the
curled side facing down.
• Paper may stick to the Print Drum surface if the top margin is too narrow on the original or if the upper portion of the
original uses a large amount of ink. To solve this problem, lower the print position to provide a wider top margin or
reverse the top and bottom of the original. Then restart master-making and printing from the beginning.
Storage Environment
Store printing paper in a dry area. Storing the paper in an excessively humid area can result in paper jams or poor print quality.
After unpacking printing paper, keep the remaining paper wrapped and store it in a moisture-proof box. Placing a
desiccant in the paper storage box is highly recommended.

Paper with a grain direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction can cause a paper jam. Use paper with a grain direction parallel
to the paper feed direction.
