IMPORTANT
Do not use the following types of paper:
- Wrinkled or creased paper
- Curled or rolled paper
- Torn paper
- Damp paper
- Very thin paper
- Paper printed by a thermal transfer printer (Do not copy on the reverse side.)
- Highly textured paper
- Very smooth paper
- Glossy paper
Paper handling and storage
- Make sure that the paper is free of dust, lint, and oil stains.
- Keep the paper wrapped in its original package (unopened or opened) and stored in a cool, dry place until ready to use. Make sure to keep it on a flat surface.
- Store paper stacks in a place where temperatures are somewhere between 64.4 to 75.2F (18 to 24C) and humidity is somewhere between 40% to 60% RH.

CAUTION
When printing on paper that has absorbed moisture
Steam may emit from the paper output area, or water droplets may form around the paper output area or on the back side of the operation panel. There is nothing unusual about any of these occurrences, which occur when the heat generated from fixing toner on the paper causes moisture in the paper to evaporate (most likely to occur at low room temperatures).

Printable Area

* When an envelope is printed, the margin is 3/8" (10 mm) on top, bottom, right, and left.

NOTE
Narrowing margins in the printer driver settings expands the printable area. Margin adjustment is available between 0"(0 mm) and 5/8" (15 mm) -the smaller the number, the larger the printable area.
1. Click [Advanced Setting] in the [Finishing] page of printer driver.
2. Set [Expand Print Region and Print] to [On].
Depending on the job, the data may not be printed in a part of document edge, or the bottom edge of paper or the following paper may be tainted.
This setting is valid only when the job is printed from the printer driver.
