Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper

Before using paper with holes such as organizer sheets, you must fan the stack of paper well to avoid paper jams and misfeeds.

- Do not use paper with perforations at the edge.
- Do not place the punched holes of organizer sheets near the actuator (paper sensor).
- Do not use organizer sheets that are stuck together. The glue on them might cause damage to the printer.
- Do not load different types of paper at the same time in the paper cassette because it may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
- For correct printing, you must select the same paper size from within your software application as the paper in the tray.
- If your application software does not support paper size selection in its Print menu, you can change the paper size on the printer's control panel under the PAPER menu.
Please follow the instructions listed below:
- Open the multi-purpose tray.

- Insert the leading edge of the paper first and push it gently into the tray.
- The printed side must be face up.
- Press and slide the paper width adjuster to fit the paper.
