When printing on rigid cardboard, the image position may shift. |
| Coated paper | When printing on coated paper, feed the sheets one by one. Moisture can cause the sheets to stick together, causing more than one sheet go through at one time, which can result in malfunction or damage. |
Do not use inkjet paper, iron-on transfer paper or perforated paper, because it will cause a paper jam or damage your machine.
