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 • Print quality is not guaranteed if paper other than the ones recommended is used. For more information about recommended paper, contact your sales or service representative. • If paper jams occur or multiple sheets are fed at once, fan the paper before loading it. CBK254 • 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 upon 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 28 "Paper Size Specifications" and page 30 "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. • If paper cannot be fed properly because of burrs on the edges of paper, load paper upside down. • It is recommended to load envelopes and labels into the bypass tray. Unusable Paper To prevent errors and misfeeds, do not use: • Paper for inkjet printers, thermal fax paper, art paper, paper with perforated lines, hemmededge 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 32 Paper Precautions • 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. • Do not store paper vertically. • Once opened, store paper in plastic bags.

However, the actual output may not come out as desired, or a paper feed problem may occur. 34 Loading Paper into Paper Trays Loading Paper into Paper Trays In the following example procedure, paper is loaded into Tray 1. • When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers. • For details about trays that can be loaded for each paper size and type, see page 28 "Paper Size Specifications" and page 30 "Paper Type Specifications". • If paper jams occur frequently, flip the paper stack in the tray. • Do not mix different types of paper in the same paper tray. • After loading paper of the size that cannot be detected automatically, specify the paper size and type using the control panel. When printing a document, specify the same paper size and type in the printer driver as specified on the printer. • Do not move the side paper guides and end paper guide forcefully. Doing so may damage the tray. • When loading label paper, load it one by one. 1. Pull the tray carefully until it stops, lift the front side of the tray, and then pull it out of the printer. DJF214 Place the tray on a flat surface. 35 2. Loading Paper 2. Squeeze the clip on the side paper guide and end guide, and then adjust the guides to the paper size being loaded. DJF215 3. Load the new paper stack print side up. Make sure paper is not stacked higher than the upper limit (upper line) marked inside the tray. DJF216 4. Adjust the paper guides to close any gaps. Do not move paper loaded in the tray more than a few millimeters. Moving the loaded paper excessively may cause damage to paper edges on the openings of the tray's lifting plate, resulting in sheets being folded or becoming jammed. DJF217 36 Loading Paper into Paper Trays 5. Lift the front side of the tray, and then slide it into the printer carefully until it stops. DJF218 To avoid paper jams, make sure the tray is securely inserted. • Letterhead paper and envelopes must be loaded in a specific orientation. For details, see page 40 "Loading Orientation-Fixed Paper or Two-Sided Paper" or page 42 "Loading Envelopes". 37 2. Loading Paper Loading Paper into the Bypass Tray • For details about trays that can be loaded for each paper size and type, see page 28 "Paper Size Specifications" and page 30 "Paper Type Specifications". • Do not mix different types of paper. • After loading paper, specify the paper size and type using the control panel. When printing a document, specify the same paper size and type in the printer driver as specified on the printer. • When loading label paper, load it one by one. • Paper feeding conditions and printing quality may vary depending on the paper thickness and width. Be sure to perform test printing using the same paper beforehand. • Load paper with the print side down and in the short-edge feed direction. 1. Press the mark in the center of the bypass tray. DJF222 Open the bypass tray. DJF223 38 Loading Paper into the Bypass Tray 2. If you load A5 or larger size paper, pull out the bypass tray extension. DJF224 3. Slide the side guides outward, and then load paper print side down, until it stops. 1 1 2 DJF225 4. Adjust the side guides to fit the paper width. DJF226 • Letterhead paper and envelopes must be loaded in a specific orientation. For details, see page 40 "Loading Orientation-Fixed Paper or Two-Sided Paper" or page 42 "Loading Envelopes". 39 2. Loading Paper Loading Orientation-Fixed Paper or Two-Sided Paper Orientation-fixed (top to bottom) or two-sided paper (for example, letterhead paper, or copied paper) might not print correctly, depending on how the paper is placed. Settings using the control panel Set [Letterhead Setting] in [Machine Modes] under [Print Settings] to [Auto Detect] or [On (Always)], and then place the paper as shown in the table below. For details about [Letterhead Setting], see "Machine Modes", Operating Instructions. Paper orientation The meanings of the icons are as follows: Icon Meaning Place or load paper printed side face up. Place or load paper printed side face down. Print side Trays 1–4 Bypass tray One-sided Two-sided • To print on letterhead paper when [Letterhead Setting] is set to [Auto Detect], you must specify [Letterhead] for the paper type in the printer driver's settings. 40 Loading Orientation-Fixed Paper or Two-Sided Paper • If a print job is changed partway through printing from one-sided to two-sided printing, one-sided output after the first copy may be printed facing a different direction. To ensure all paper is output facing the same direction, specify different input trays for one-sided and two-sided printing. Note also that two-sided printing must be disabled for the tray specified for one-sided printing. • For details about how to make two-sided prints, see "Printing on Both Sides of a Page", Operating Instructions. 41 2. Loading Paper Loading Envelopes This section explains various details about and recommendations concerning envelopes. Specifications of Envelopes • Some of this machine's internal components get very hot. For this reason, take care when removing misfed paper. Not doing so could result in burns. • Do not use window envelopes. • Envelopes, especially those with glue on their flaps, may stick together. Fan the envelopes to separate them before loading. If the envelopes still stick together, load them one by one. For the envelope types that can be used with this printer, see page 28 "Paper Size Specifications" and page 30 "Paper Type Specifications". • Misfeeds might occur depending on the length and shape of the flaps. • When loading envelopes with their flaps open, specify a custom size. You can print with a standard envelope size setting only when printing on envelopes with their flaps closed. However, be sure to open the flaps when loading envelopes into Tray 1 with their flaps toward the back of the printer. • Before loading envelopes, press down on them to remove any air from inside, flattening out all four edges. If they are bent or curled, flattening their leading edges (the edge going into the printer) by running a pencil or ruler across them. CHU024 Loading orientation for envelopes The method for loading envelopes varies depending on the orientation of the envelopes. Be sure to load envelopes with the correct orientation. 42 Loading Envelopes Orientation Paper tray 1–4 Bypass tray Envelopes • Flaps: closed • Flaps: closed • Bottom side of envelopes: toward the right of the printer • Side to be printed: face up • Bottom side of envelopes: toward the right of the printer • Side to be printed: face down 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 28 "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. 43 2.
