Precautions for Correct Operations

Inapplicable paper

Do not load the following paper into the tray. Not observing these precautions may lead to reduced print quality, a paper jam or damage to the machine.
  • Transparencies that have already been fed through the machine (even if they are still blank)
  • Paper that has been printed on with a heat-transfer printer or an inkjet printer
  • Folded, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper
  • Paper that has been left unwrapped for a long period of time
  • Damp paper, perforated paper, or paper with punched holes
  • Extremely smooth or extremely rough paper, or paper with an uneven surface
  • Treated paper such as carbon-backed paper, thermal paper, pressure-sensitive paper, or iron-on transfer paper
  • Paper that has been decorated with foil or embossing
  • Paper of a non-standard shape (paper that is not rectangular)
  • Paper that is bound with glue, staples or paper clips
  • Paper with labels attached
  • Paper with ribbons, hooks, buttons, etc., attached

Paper storage

Store paper in a cool, dark location with little humidity. If the paper becomes damp, a paper jam may occur.

Store the paper flat, not on its edge. Curled paper may cause a paper jam.
