NOTE
The default paper size/type is set to <A4> and <Plain 2> in the setting menu. If you use a different paper size or paper type, you need to change the paper settings.
CAUTION
- Be careful when handling paper:
Handle paper carefully not to cut your hands with the edges of the paper.
- Precautions when inserting the paper cassette:
Be careful not to catch your fingers.
IMPORTANT
- 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.
- When using paper that has been poorly cut:
If you use paper that has been poorly cut, multiple sheets of paper may be fed at once. In this case, fan the paper thoroughly, and then align the edges of the stack properly on a hard, flat surface.
- Do not load the paper stack which exceeds the load limit mark lines:
Be sure that the paper stack does not exceed the load limit mark lines. If the paper stack exceeds the load limit mark lines, this may result in misfeeds.
- When printing on envelopes:
Load envelopes with the front side (non-glued side) facing up. You cannot print on the reverse side of envelopes. Also, be sure to close the flap before loading envelopes.
