CAUTION

  • Do not attempt to print on stapled sheets, aluminum foil, carbon paper, or any kind of conductive paper. Doing so risks fire.

Important

  • To prevent faults, do not use any of the following kinds of treated paper:

    • Paper for inkjet printers

    • Art paper

    • Aluminum foil

    • Carbon paper

    • Conductive paper

    • Paper with perforated lines

  • Certain types of OHP transparencies for colour printing cannot be used. For details about types that can be used, contact your sales or service representative.

  • Faults can occur if you copy or print onto sides that are already printed. Take care to copy or print onto unprinted sides only.

Note

  • To prevent misfeeds, do not use the following kinds of paper:

    • Bent, folded, or creased paper
