2. Loading Paper Paper Precautions • Do not attempt to print on stapled sheets, aluminum foil, carbon paper, or any kind of conductive paper. Doing so risks fire. Precautions • To prevent multiple sheets from being fed at once, fan the paper before loading it. • If you load paper when only a few sheets of paper remain in the tray, multiple sheet feeding may occur. Remove any remaining paper, stack them with the new sheets of paper, and then fan the entire stack before loading it into the tray. • Straighten curled or warped paper before loading. • For details about available paper sizes and types for each paper tray, see p.23 "Paper Specifications". • Depending on the environment where the printer is being used, you might at times hear a rustling noise from paper moving through the printer. This noise does not indicate a malfunction. Unusable Paper To prevent faults and misfeeds, do not use: • Paper for inkjet printers, thermal fax paper, art paper, paper with perforated lines, hemmededge paper, OHP transparencies, or window envelopes • Bent, folded, or creased paper, perforated paper, slippery paper, torn paper, rough paper, thin paper with little stiffness, paper with a dusty surface • Faults can occur if you print onto sides that are already printed. Be sure to print onto blank sides only. • Even supported types of paper may cause paper jams or malfunctions if the paper is not in good condition. Sheets can become jammed if they have been improperly stored. • If you print onto rough grain paper, the output image might be blurred. • Do not load sheets that have already been printed by another printer. Paper Storage When storing paper, the following precautions should always be followed: • Do not store paper where it will be exposed to direct sunlight. • Avoid storing paper in humid areas (humidity: 70% or less). • Store on a flat surface. • Do not store paper vertically. 28

Paper Precautions
Do not attempt to print on stapled sheets, aluminum foil, carbon paper, or any kind of
conductive paper. Doing so risks fire.
Precautions
To prevent multiple sheets from being fed at once, fan the paper before loading it.
If you load paper when only a few sheets of paper remain in the tray, multiple sheet feeding
may occur. Remove any remaining paper, stack them with the new sheets of paper, and then
fan the entire stack before loading it into the tray.
Straighten curled or warped paper before loading.
For details about available paper sizes and types for each paper tray, see p.23 "Paper
Specifications".
Depending on the environment where the printer is being used, you might at times hear a
rustling noise from paper moving through the printer. This noise does not indicate a
malfunction.
Unusable Paper
To prevent faults and misfeeds, do not use:
Paper for inkjet printers, thermal fax paper, art paper, paper with perforated lines, hemmed-
edge paper, OHP transparencies, or window envelopes
Bent, folded, or creased paper, perforated paper, slippery paper, torn paper, rough paper,
thin paper with little stiffness, paper with a dusty surface
Faults can occur if you print onto sides that are already printed. Be sure to print onto blank
sides only.
Even supported types of paper may cause paper jams or malfunctions if the paper is not in
good condition. Sheets can become jammed if they have been improperly stored.
If you print onto rough grain paper, the output image might be blurred.
Do not load sheets that have already been printed by another printer.
Paper Storage
When storing paper, the following precautions should always be followed:
Do not store paper where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Avoid storing paper in humid areas (humidity: 70% or less).
Store on a flat surface.
Do not store paper vertically.
