■ Paper specifications

Recording paper size: A4: 210 mm x 297 mm

Note:

- Do not use the following types of paper:

— Paper with a cotton and/or fibre content that is over 20%, such as letterhead paper or paper used for resumes. — Extremely smooth or shiny paper, or paper that is highly textured. — Coated, damaged or wrinkled paper. — Paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples. — Paper which has dust, lint or oil stains. — Paper that will melt, vaporize, discolor, scorch or emit dangerous fumes, near 200 °C, such as vellum paper. These materials may transfer onto the fusing roller and cause damage.

— Moist paper.

  • Some paper only accepts print on one side. Try using the other side of the paper if you are not happy with the print quality or if misfeeding occurs.
  • For proper feeding and best print quality, we recommend using long-grained paper.
  • Do not use paper of different types or thickness at the same time. This may cause a paper jam.
  • Avoid double-sided printing.
  • Do not use paper printed from this unit for double-sided printing with other copiers or printers. This may cause a paper jam.
  • To avoid curling, do not open paper packs until you are ready to use the paper. Store unused paper in the original packaging, in a cool and dry location.
