● This printer cannot output paper that is less than 176 mm in length face down. Always output this type of paper into the sub-output tray (face-up output).
●Always use the optional duplex unit when you are duplex printing. You cannot manually duplex print from the paper tray or paper cassette. If you do manually duplex print (feed in the reverse side of a sheet of paper that you have printed on) this could lead to poor printing quality.
●If you load Executive-size paper into the paper feeder, leave plenty of space between the top of the stack and the paper limit guide (→p. 12). (→p. 10)
