Operation Manual

Recommended Paper Sizes and Types
This section describes recommended paper sizes and types.
If you use paper that curls, either because it is too dry or too damp, a paper jam may occur.
Do not use paper designed for inkjet printers, as these may stick to the fusing unit and cause a
misfeed.
When you load OHP transparencies, check the front and back of the sheets, and place them
correctly, or a misfeed might occur.
