For details, see the manuals supplied with the machine. Coated Paper In terms of density and surface conditions, coated paper is very different from regular paper. Coated paper may not feed correctly and the print quality may not be very good because of the low toner adhesion and image quality. For the characteristics of coated paper that can be used with the machine, see page 8 "Paper Specifications". Thinly coated paper may cause paper jams in the machine and thickly coated paper has poor toner adhesion that may damage the machine. Also, many coated papers cannot endure the heat and pressure that occur during printing, and may wrinkle during printing. Fan coated paper before loading it in the paper tray. For details about fanning coated paper, see the manuals supplied with the machine. Recycled Paper Recycled paper is made from a mixture of new pulp and pulp made from old paper, such as newspapers and magazines. Because of this, the characteristics of recycled paper vary greatly depending on the brand and manufacturer. We recommend evaluating recycled paper before using it. Preprinted Paper If you want to print on preprinted paper on which a frame or company name is printed, consult your sales representative or service representative. 21

Using Special Types of Paper
Refer to the tables on page 8 "Paper Specifications" as a guide when you select special types of
paper to use with the machine.
While this machine supports coated and special types of paper, the characteristics and conditions of
certain types of paper may result in low print quality.
We recommend evaluating special types of paper before using them in the machine. It is impossible to
confirm the consistency of feeding, and the effect on consumable parts and components without long-
term testing, but you can determine the basic characteristics, such as print quality and toner adhesion,
by printing around 500 sheets.
The special types of paper that you can use with the machine depend on the machine. For details,
see the manuals supplied with the machine.
Coated Paper
In terms of density and surface conditions, coated paper is very different from regular paper. Coated
paper may not feed correctly and the print quality may not be very good because of the low toner
adhesion and image quality. For the characteristics of coated paper that can be used with the machine,
see page 8 "Paper Specifications".
Thinly coated paper may cause paper jams in the machine and thickly coated paper has poor toner
adhesion that may damage the machine. Also, many coated papers cannot endure the heat and
pressure that occur during printing, and may wrinkle during printing.
Fan coated paper before loading it in the paper tray. For details about fanning coated paper, see the
manuals supplied with the machine.
Recycled Paper
Recycled paper is made from a mixture of new pulp and pulp made from old paper, such as
newspapers and magazines. Because of this, the characteristics of recycled paper vary greatly
depending on the brand and manufacturer. We recommend evaluating recycled paper before using it.
Preprinted Paper
If you want to print on preprinted paper on which a frame or company name is printed, consult your
sales representative or service representative.
