the following categories:
Thickness: For one sheet: 0.07 to 0.12 mm (2.8 x 10

to 4.7 x 10

For multiple sheets: 0.07 to 0.10 mm (2.8 x 10

Weight:
For one sheet: 52 to 85 g/m

Before inserting documents into the document feeder, fan the sheets of paper to make sure
the documents are not stuck together. Then tap the leading edge on a table so that all the
pages are even when placed in the feeder. Make sure you always put the documents in face
down.
