Outputting Paper
❏ Printed paper is ejected to the output tray with the printed side facing down. For A4 size plain paper (with a
thickness of 80g/m²), up to 100 sheets can be ejected at a time. Outputting more than 100 sheets may cause
paper to fall or a paper jam to occur. Remove any excess paper so that it does not exceed the maximum number
of sheets that can be ejected.
❏ When you load thick paper or business card size paper, lower the output switch lever to output paper to the
front of the printer. We also recommend outputting envelopes to the front of the printer.
