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.
- Printouts may be askew depending on the printing environment. Properly load paper to reduce the symptom.
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 exceed the load limit mark when loading paper.
- Ensure that the paper stack does not exceed the line of the load limit mark. 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.
