Precautions When Loading Paper into the Paper Cassette
ATTENTION
Be careful when handling paper.
- Handle paper carefully to avoid cutting your hands with the edges of the paper.
Precautions when closing the dust cover:
- Keep your fingers clear of the dust cover to avoid injury.
IMPORTANT
Adjust the paper guides tightly to the width of the paper.
- If the paper guides are too loose or too tight, the document may be misfed or become jammed.
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 loading limit marks when loading paper.
- Make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the loading limit marks. If the paper stack exceeds the loadinglimit 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.
