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
• Recommended paper: Paper with calcium carbonate (CaCO3) ratio of 15% or less.
• 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 page 38 "Paper
Size Specifications" and page 41 "Paper Type 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 errors and misfeeds, do not use:
• Paper for inkjet printers, thermal fax paper, art paper, paper with perforated lines, hemmed-
edge paper, or window envelopes
• Bent, folded, or creased paper, perforated paper, slippery paper, torn paper, rough paper,
thin paper with little stiffness, and paper with a dusty surface
• Errors 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 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.
Paper Precautions
43
• Do not store paper vertically.
• Once opened, store paper in plastic bags.

When loading envelopes, use both the control panel and the printer driver to select "Envelope" for the
paper type and specify the thickness of the envelopes. For details, see page 62 "Configuring
Envelope Settings Using the Control Panel".
Recommended envelopes
For details about recommended envelopes, contact your local dealer.
The size of envelopes that you can load depends on the tray in which you load them. For details,
see page 38 "Paper Size Specifications".
• Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.
• The duplex function cannot be used with envelopes.
• Straighten any curls within 2 mm (0.1 inch) upward and 0 mm (0 inches) downward on the tray
before loading.
• To achieve better output quality, it is recommended that you set the right, left, top, and bottom print
margin to at least 15 mm (0.6 inches) each.
• The output quality on envelopes may be uneven if parts of an envelope have differing thicknesses.
Print one or two envelopes to check the print quality.
• When printing onto envelopes, the print speed is slower than usual.
• Flatten out prints if they are creased or curled.
• Check that the envelopes are not damp.
• High temperature and high humidity conditions can reduce print quality and cause envelopes to
become creased.

• Depending on the environment, printing on envelopes may wrinkle them even if they are the
recommended envelopes.
• Certain types of envelopes might be output creased, dirtied, or misprinted. If you are printing a
solid color on an envelope, lines may appear where the overlapped edges of the envelope make it
thicker.

• If printed sheets come out curled, use the standard tray
extension. See page 11 "Guide to Components".
It takes too long to turn on the
printer.
If the printer is turned off while accessing the hard disk (for
example: during file deletion), the printer will require more time to
power-up the next time it is turned on. To avoid this time delay, do
not turn the printer off while it is in operation.
It takes too long to resume
printing.
• The data is so large or complex that it takes time to process it.
If Data In indicator is flashing, the data is being processed.
Wait until it resumes.
• The printer was in the Energy Saver mode or the Sleep mode.
To recover from these modes, the printer must warm up, and
this takes time until printing starts. For details, see page 27
"Saving Energy".
It takes too long to complete the

• Once you perform an automatic update of device information
using the PCL 6 or PostScript 3 printer driver's properties,
other printer drivers may not be able to establish a
bidirectional communication and cannot perform the
automatic update successfully. This only occurs with 32-bit
Windows XP. In such cases, log off and log back on to
Windows, and perform the automatic update again. If the
problem cannot be resolved, contact your sales or service
representative.
Other Printing Problems
117
Problem Solutions
When printing combined prints
or bound prints.
Check that the paper size and direction set in the printer driver are
the same as those set in the application.
If the settings are not the same, change the settings of the printer
driver.
An empty tray is selected by
Auto Tray Select, and the
document is not printed due to
out of paper error.
If a paper tray is opened and closed while the printer is in Energy
Saver mode, the printer will initialize the tray upon recovery, but
the tray will not be selectable by Auto Tray Select.
To print from a paper tray that you opened and closed while the
printer was in Energy Saver mode, you must manually specify the
tray as the source paper tray before printing. When the printer
recovers from Energy Saver mode and completes initialization, it
will then print the document from the tray you have specified.
