BEFORE USING THE MACHINE►LOADING PAPER APPLICABLE PAPER TYPES This section describes paper types that can be used and those that cannot be used. All types of paper other than plain paper are referred to as special media. • Various types of paper are commercially available, some of which cannot be used on the machine. Before using any paper, consult the dealer or nearest SHARP Service Department. • The image quality and toner fusibility of paper may change due to ambient conditions, operating conditions, and paper characteristics, resulting in image quality inferior to that of Sharp standard paper. Before using any paper, consult the dealer or nearest SHARP Service Department. • The use of non-recommended or non-usable paper may result in skewed feeding, misfeeds, poor toner fusing (the toner does not adhere to the paper well and can be rubbed off), or machine failure. • The use of non-recommended paper may result in misfeeds or poor image quality. Before using non-recommended paper, check whether printing can be performed properly.

In that case, try setting the paper type to a type that is slightly heavier or slightly lighter than normal.
