IMPORTANT
- Be sure to fan the transparencies, coated paper, glossy films, or labels thoroughly before loading them. If they are not fanned enough, multiple sheets of paper may be fed at once, causing paper jams.
- When fanning or aligning the transparencies, coated paper, or glossy films, try to hold the edges to avoid touching the printing surface.
- Take care not to mark or stain the printing surface of the transparencies, coated paper, or glossy films with fingerprints, dust, or oil. This may result in poor print quality.
- Be sure to load paper in portrait orientation.
- Be sure to check if the paper guides are at the position of the size of the paper to be loaded. If the paper guide is set at a wrong position, this may result in misfeeds.
- If you use paper that has been poorly cut, multiple sheets of paper may be fed at once. In this case, align the edges of the paper stack properly on a hard, flat surface.
- You cannot print on the reverse side (glued side) of envelopes.
- Be sure to align the paper guides with the width of the paper. If the paper guides are too loose or too tight, this may result in misfeeds or paper jams.
NOTE
- To print paper with letterheads or logos, load the paper with the printing side facing up as follows.
- To print envelopes, load them so that the printing side is facing up and the flap is toward the left of the paper cassette when viewed from the front.
