Document and Paper Handling

CAUTION

Be careful when handling paper.

Handle paper carefully not to cut your hands with the edges

of the paper.

Precautions when inserting the paper drawer

Be careful not to catch your fingers.

Precautions when Loading Paper

IMPORTANT

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.

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 load limit mark when loading paper.

Make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the line of the load

limit mark. If the paper stack exceeds the load limit mark lines, 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.
