If paper is curled, hold the curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat.
When using Photo Paper Plus Semi-glossSG-201, even if the sheet is curled, load one sheet at a time as it is.If you roll up this paper to flatten, this may cause cracks on the surface of the paper and reduce the print quality.
