Precautions When Loading Paper in the Paper Drawer
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 drawer
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.
- 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.
Make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the loading limit marks. If the paper stack exceeds the loading limit marks, 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.
