*1 Paper on which you will not print on both sides (for example, when something is already printed on the front side).
*2 Fine and other special paper.
*3 Paper where company names, preset text, and others are already printed.
*4 Colored paper.
*5 Paper that is registered as one of frequently used paper types.
Paper other than plain paper, such as transparencies and colored paper, is called special paper. When loading special paper into the paper tray, specify the correct paper type. Otherwise, it may result in a paper jam or image error.
For paper weight and media adjustment settings, contact your service representative.
When printing on the reverse side of a sheet printed on one side, load paper into the Bypass Tray, and select [Duplex 2nd Side] in the paper setting, improving a reduction of the printing image quality. [Duplex 2nd Side] is available when plain paper, plain paper+, Thick 1, Thick 1+, Thick 2, Thick 3, or Thick 4 is selected to be printed from the Bypass Tray.
If thin paper, Thick 3, or Thick 4 is selected for printing, the resulting image quality may not be as expected.
Do not use thin paper of 5-1/2 8-1/2 (A5) size or smaller.
When loading Thick 4 in the paper tray, place 8-1/2 11 or A4 in the direction, and 11 17 or A3 in the direction.
When loading transparencies into the paper tray, place them in the direction.
Transparencies can only be printed in black.
The optional Banner Paper Loading Guide is required to use banner paper for printing.
