Applicable paper
In order to maintain high-quality printing, it is necessary to use paper that fulfills the quality, weight and surface finish conditions. Please use electrophotographic paper.
If you are printing on non-recommended paper, thoroughly test the print quality and paper traction beforehand and check that there are no problems before use.
For precautions for printing on various types of paper, refer to "Paper precautions by type".

- If the paper grain direction does not match the paper feeding direction, paper jams may occur.
- Printing from the MP Tray may cause wrinkles. In this case, feed paper from the paper cassette.
- The paper wrapper shows the orientation of the surface. Load paper properly so that the face side is the printing side.
- The paper is wrapped in moisture-proof paper to prevent moisture. Please use the paper as early as possible after opening its package.
- Wrap unused paper in the wrapping paper, and keep it away from moisture absorption as much as possible.
- If it is used beyond the normal room temperature (temperature: 17°C to 25°C; humidity: 40% to 60%), the printing quality may be degraded or problems may occur such as paper jams, wrinkles, curls, and warpage.
Depending on the installation environment of the machine, printing on paper that contains moisture may cause white steam or water droplets to appear around the paper exit area of the machine. This is not abnormal because the heat generated when the toner is fixed to the paper evaporates the moisture contained in the paper.
