Note
❒ Loading curled paper in the cut paper tray can result in misfeeds and soiled
paper edges. To load curled paper in the cut paper tray, first flatten it by hand,
and be sure to load it print side down. Also, to prevent paper from curling,
lay paper on a flat surface, and do not lean it against the wall.
❒ If you cannot make copies as you want because of paper type, paper size, or
paper capacity problems, use recommended paper. See “Copy Paper”, About
This Machine.

If you cannot execute a function, it may be that the machine is being held up by
another function.
If you cannot execute a function, terminate any other functions currently active,
