Loading Paper
Precautions for Loading Paper
• When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.
• Do not stack paper over the limit mark.
Jams and misfeeds can occur when printing on thick glossy sheets. To prevent such problems, be sure to
fan glossy sheets thoroughly before loading them.
When loading paper, set the paper direction according to its grain, as shown in the following diagram:
Direction of paper grain Trays 1-2 or the wide LCT Multi bypass tray (Tray A)
• Even if paper is loaded as described above, normal operations and print quality might still not be
possible, depending on the paper type.
• Prints might be noticeably curled. Flatten out prints if they are creased or curled. For details about
settings for flattening out curled paper, see page 175 "0301 Correct Output Paper Curl: 1 Sided:
Face Up", page 176 "0302 Correct Output Paper Curl: 1 Sided: Face Down", page 176 "0303
Correct Output Paper Curl: 2 Sided".
• To prevent multiple sheets from being fed at once, fan the paper before loading it.
