Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper
■ If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
■ If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray.
■ You should use regular paper. Do not use bond paper.
■ If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it.
