KEY POINT: Printing with paper that is a different type or size
from the paper selected by the printer driver, or printing from an
unsupported paper tray can result in paper jams. To ensure
correct printing, select the correct paper size, paper type, and
paper tray.
NOTE: GSM (grams per square meter) or g/m
2
is a measure of
the substance of paper expressed in grams per square meter.
Ream weight is the weight of a 788
× 1,091 mm ream consisting of
1,000 sheets.
When copying with a non-standard paper size from Tray 5
(Bypass), you must manually enter the paper size. In addition, if
you use a non-standard paper size often, you can preset the size
in the device. Then the preset size appears under Standard Sizes
in the Tray 5 (Bypass) screen. For information about setup, refer
to “Tray 5 (Bypass) - Paper Size Defaults” in the System
Administration Guide.
Storing and Handling Paper
Please keep the following points in mind when storing paper
• Store paper inside a cabinet or other dry place. Paper that
has absorbed moisture can cause paper jams and image
quality defects.
• After opening a package of paper, wrap up the remaining
paper to store it. It is recommended that you include
moisture prevention packets.
• Paper should be stored flat, to prevent bends or warping.
Please adhere to the following when setting paper into the
tray
• Align the stack of paper neatly before setting it in the tray.
• Do not use paper that is folded, creased, or heavily
warped.
• Do not use waved or curled paper.
• Do not load paper of mixed size together into the tray.
• Transparency paper and label paper can cause paper
jams, and multiple sheets can be fed to the printer at once.
Be sure to carefully fan these types of paper.
• When continuously outputting onto transparencies,
transparency sheets sometimes will stick to each other.
Remove transparencies from the output tray every 20 or so
sheets, and fan them to cool them down.
