Special papers
Follow these guidelines when using special papers.
● Use SHARP recommended transparency film and label sheets. Using other than SHARP recommended 
paper may result in misfeeds or smudges on the output. If other than SHARP recommended media must 
be used, feed each sheet one at a time using the bypass tray (do not attempt continuous copying or 
printing).
● There are many varieties of special paper available on the market, and some cannot be used with this 
machine. Before using special paper, contact your authorised service representative.
● Before using other than SHARP recommended paper, make a test copy to see if the paper is suitable.
