Specifying the Paper Size and Type

Solution

Specifying the Paper Size and Type

  • When making copies on LTR-size paper after having continuously copied on paper smaller than LTR-size paper, the copies may be dirty. To prevent copies from being dirty, wait about 1 minute before making copies.
  • The paper in the multi-purpose feeder is fed prior to the paper in the cassette.
  • The settings changed in the Menu do not return automatically to the settings you set previously. Change to the previous settings again if necessary.
  • When making copies of a small size or heavy paper*, etc., the copy speed may be slightly slower than usual.
    *The paper type should be selected in the Menu.
  • If you intend to make a copy and print with a thermal transfer printer using the same sheet of paper, make the copy first. Failure to do so may make copies dirty or cause a paper jam.
  • When copying onto transparencies, remove each transparency from the output tray as it is output.

Specifying the Paper Size

At the factory, the paper size has already been set to [LTR]. Normally, you can make copies in this setting. When making copies on other sizes of paper, you need to specify the paper size according to the following.

  1. Press <Menu>.


  2. Press <> or <> to select [COMMON SETTINGS], then press <Set>.
  3. Press <> or <> to select [PAPER SETTINGS], then press <Set>.


  4. Press <> or <> to select [PAPER SIZE], then press <Set>.


  5. Press <> or <> to select the appropriate paper size (LTR, LGL, EXECUTIV, A4, B5, ENVELOPE, or FREE SIZE), then press <Set>.


    When [ENVELOPE] is selected:
    Press <> or <> to select the type of envelopes (COM10, MONARCH, DL, or ISO-C5), then press <Set>.

    When [FREE SIZE] is selected:
    Press <> or <> to select [VERTICAL SIZE] or [HORIZONTAL SIZE], then press <Set>.
    Use the numeric keys, or press <> or <> to specify vertical and horizontal sizes of the paper in millimeters (mm).
    Available range in [VERTICAL SIZE]: 127 mm to 356 mm (5" to 14")
    Available range in [HORIZONTAL SIZE]: 76 mm to 216 mm (3" to 8 1/2")
    Press <Set>. Repeat the steps above to specify vertical and horizontal sizes of the paper.


  6. Press <Stop/Reset> to return to the standby display.



Specifying the Paper Type

[PLAIN PAPER] is selected as the default paper type. When making copies on paper other than plain paper, you can specify the paper type according to the following. Specifying the paper type can prevent poor copy quality, or the printout not being printed correctly.

  1. Press <Menu>.


  2. Press <> or <> to select [COMMON SETTINGS], then press <Set>.


  3. Press <> or <> to select [PAPER SETTINGS], then press <Set>.


  4. Press <> or <> to select [PAPER TYPE], then press <Set>.


  5. Press <> or <> to select the appropriate paper type, then press <Set>.


    You can select from the following paper types:
    - Plain paper (17 lb to 24 lb (64 g/m2 to 90 g/m2 )): [PLAIN PAPER]
    - Heavy paper (25 lb to 34 lb (91 g/m2 to 128 g/m2 )): [HEAVY PAPER], [HEAVY PAPER H]*1
    - Transparency: [TRANSPARENCY]
    - Label*2 : [HEAVY PAPER], [HEAVY PAPER H]*1
    - Envelope: [HEAVY PAPER], [HEAVY PAPER H]*1
    *1 If print fixing is not sufficient when printed with [HEAVY PAPER] selected, select [HEAVY PAPER H].
    *2 A label that can be loaded in the cassette is a standard type (label standard card) only.


  6. Press <Stop/Reset> to return to the standby display.
