Thick Paper
This section gives you various details about and recommendations concerning thick paper.
When loading thick paper of 157–169 g/m
2
(42 lb. Bond–90 lb. Index) in trays 1 and 2, 157–216
g/m
2
(42 lb. Bond–80 lb. Cover) in tray 3 or bypass tray, follow the recommendations below to
prevent misfeeds and loss of image quality.
Store all your paper in the same environment - a room where the temperature is 20–25 °C (68–
77 °F) and the humidity is 30–65%.
When loading thick paper, be sure to load at least 20 sheets. Also, be sure to position the side
fences flush against the paper stack.
Jams and misfeeds can occur when printing on thick glossy sheets. To prevent such problems, be
sure to fan glossy sheets thoroughly before loading them. If sheets continue to become jammed or
feed in together even after they are fanned, load them one by one from the bypass tray.
When loading thick paper, set the paper direction according to its grain, as shown in the following
diagram:
Direction of paper
grain
Tray 1
Trays 2 and 3
Bypass tray
*1
*1
You can load paper in the
orientation into tray 1 only if the A3/11 × 17 tray unit is installed.
When copying or printing onto thick paper, the copy/print speed is slower than usual.
Select [Thick Paper 1] or [Thick Paper 2] in [Tray Paper Settings] under the System Settings menu.
Even if thick paper is loaded as described above, normal operations and print quality might still not
be possible, depending on the paper type.
Prints might have prominent vertical creases.
Prints might be noticeably curled. Flatten out prints if they are creased or curled.
