Recommended Paper Sizes and Types
The recommended paper sizes and types for each tray are as described below.
• For the product names of options, see page 11 "Abbreviated Names of Options".
• If you use paper that curls, either because it is too dry or too damp, a staple clogging or paper jam
may occur.
• Do not use paper designed for inkjet printers, as these may stick to the fusing unit and cause a
misfeed.
• When you load transparencies, check the front and back of the sheets, and place them correctly,
or a misfeed might occur.
• Certain types of paper, such as translucent paper or transparencies, may produce noise when
delivered. This noise does not indicate a problem and print quality is unaffected.
• You can specify whether or not the machine auto detects multi-sheet feeds in paper from every tray.
To specify whether the machine continues or stops printing after detecting a double-feed of paper,
use [JAM099] in [1321: Jam Detection] of the adjustment item for custom paper. To specify
whether to detect a double feed of paper in Interposer, use [21: Finishing: Interposer] [2101:
Detect JAM573] / [2101: Detect JAM574] in Adjustment Settings for Operators on the [Printer
Adjustment] hub. However, depending on the condition of the paper, the machine may not detect a
multi-sheet feed correctly.

• Depending on the paper's size, weight, and type, the print speed may be slower than usual.
• When loading envelopes, see page 121 "Envelope Orientation and Recommended Status".
