Initial Setup 2-9
Thick paper and other kinds of special printing media should be used in
manual feed mode. The approximate thicknesses of paper that can be used
in manual feed mode or automatic feed mode are as follows:
Caution:
Never use paper in the sheet feeder with thickness outside the
range 0.07 mm - 0.10 mm (0.003" - 0.004") in automatic feed
mode. In manual feed mode, never use paper whose thickness is
outside the range 0.07 mm - 0.23 mm (0.003" - 0.01"). Doing so
may cause paper jams or damage to the printer.
Paper jams can be caused by feeding in paper that is extremely smooth or
shiny, too rough, or paper that easily picks up static electricity. Paper jams
and other paper feed problems can tear the ribbons in ink cartridges.
To avoid such problems, please note the following precautions:
• Always use the recommended paper types, and be sure to set the
printer’s paper options properly. Settings that are not appropriate for
the paper being used can cause paper jams.
• When printing on Dye Sublimation Paper, use only Dye Sublimation
ink cartridges. Be sure to confine your printing to the glossy printable
area only. If you print outside this area, you may damage the ink
cartridge.
• When printing on a thick sheet, or an irregular postcard-size sheet
allow a 1/2 inch (12 mm) margin on the left and right side to prevent
printing over the paper edge, this could result in tearing the ink
cartridge ribbon.
• When printing on used sheets (already printed on the same side), use
manual feed only. Automatic feed may not feed used sheets properly.
When using manual feed, avoid repeatedly inserting and removing
the same sheet.
