Paper Handling Precautions
❏ Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper.
❏ Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the
printable side.
❏ If the paper is curled, atten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled
paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.
❏ Do not use paper that is wavy, torn, cut, folded, damp, too thick, too thin, or paper that has stickers stuck to it.
Using these types of paper causes paper jams and smears on the printout.
❏ Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are
pued
up with air,
press them down to atten them before loading.
❏ Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded. Using these envelopes causes paper jams and smears on the
