  • Do not print on both sides of the paper.

  • If you are printing multiple pages, insert each additional sheet after the preceding sheet is fully ejected from the machine.

  • If you load paper that curls severely, the edge of the paper may be caught when it is fed into the paper bypass location. Flatten the curled paper with your hands before loading the paper.

  • If the edge of the roll paper is ejected from the machine, load it again after copying or printing from the paper bypass location. For details about how to load the paper roll, see Loading Paper into the Paper Input Location.
