Usable paper
Issue
To ensure optimum performance, use only paper that falls within the specifications in the following lists. Using inappropriate paper may result in deterioration in print quality or paper jams.
IMPORTANT
a. Print speed may drop depending on the settings for the paper orientation, paper size, paper type, and print copies.
- Envelope: Approx. 2.5 ppm (color printing)/Approx. 4 ppm (black and white printing)
b. When continuously printing the paper of A4 or smaller size (210.0 mm wide or less), the safety function that prevents damages caused by heat may slow the print speed down in stages. (When printing in black and white, the print speed may be as slow as approximately 4 ppm.)

Plain Paper:
This printer can print plain paper that is 76.2 to 215.9 mm wide, 127.0 to 355.6 mm long, and that weighs between 64 and 105 g/m2, including the standard size paper sizes: A4, B5, A5, Legal, Letter, and Executive.
Plain paper can be loaded in either the multi-purpose tray or in the paper cassette (only when the optional 250-sheet paper feeder is installed).
Heavy Paper:
This printer can print heavy paper that is 76.2 to 215.9 mm wide, 127.0 to 355.6 mm long, and that weighs between 106 and 135 g/m2, including the standard size paper sizes: A4, B5, A5, Legal, Letter, and Executive. Load heavy paper with the printing side facing up in the multi-purpose tray.
IMPORTANT
Printing speed drops when printing heavy paper.
Transparency:
This printer can print A4 or Letter size transparencies. Load transparencies in the multi-purpose tray.
IMPORTANT
a. Transparencies can be printed only in black and white.
b. Thoroughly fan the transparencies before loading them as they may stick to each other.
c. Printing speed drops when printing transparencies.

The envelopes that can be used with this printer are as follows:
IMPORTANT
a. Do not use the following types of envelopes. Using inappropriate envelopes may result in paper jams that are difficult to clear or may result in damage to the printer.
- Envelopes with fasteners or snaps
- Envelopes with address windows
- Envelopes with adhesive on the surface
- Wrinkled or creased envelopes
- Poorly manufactured envelopes in which the glued parts are uneven
- Irregularly-shaped envelopes
b. Before loading the envelopes, flatten the stack of envelopes to release any remaining air, and press the fold lines along the edges tight.
c. Do not print on the reverse side (glued side) of envelopes.
d. Printing speed drops when printing envelops.
NOTE
When printing envelopes, they may be creased.
