Solution
If paper other than standard paper is loaded, you must specify the paper size and type settings to match the paper that is loaded. Make sure that the loaded paper size is correctly recognized when you load the paper that is different from the previously loaded paper.
IMPORTANT
If the setting does not match the size and type of loaded paper, a paper jam or printing error may occur.
Use the following steps when loading paper other than plain paper such as heavy paper or envelopes in the drawer.
