IMPORTANT
- Be sure to fan the coated paper, glossy films, or labels thoroughly before loading them. If they are not fanned enough, multiple sheets of paper may be fed at once, causing paper jams.
- When fanning or aligning the coated paper or glossy films, try to hold the edges to avoid touching the printing surface.
- Take care not to mark or stain the printing surface of the coated paper or glossy films with fingerprints, dust, or oil. This may result in poor print quality.
- Be sure to load paper in portrait orientation.
- Be sure to check if the paper guides are at the position of the size of the paper to be loaded. If the paper guide is set at a wrong position, this may result in misfeeds.
- If you use paper that has been poorly cut, multiple sheets of paper may be fed at once. In this case, align the edges of the paper stack properly on a hard, flat surface.
- 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.
