When printing on normal paper that is 487.8 mm (19.20 inches) long or more with a thickness of Paper Weight 2 or below or coated paper with a thickness of Paper Weight 3 or below, output paper may bend in the paper output tray so that it may curl or clog in the paper output entrance. In this case, use long-grain paper. If the output paper still bends when coated long-grain paper of Paper Weight 3 or below, remove the output paper one by one or place a single sheet of paper in the shift tray then resume printing.
After sliding the paper tray in, make sure that the paper size is changed correctly on the printer's initial screen. To display the printer's initial screen, display the [Home] screen and press the [Printer] icon.
