Check3

Load the paper after correcting its curl.

We recommend putting unused paper back into the package and keeping it on a level surface.

For Plain Paper

Turn the paper over and reload it to print on the other side.

Leaving the paper loaded on the rear tray for a long time may cause the paper to curl. In this case, load the
paper with the other side facing up. It may resolve the problem.

For Other Paper

If the curl on the four corners of the paper is more than 0.1 inch / 3 mm (A) in height, the paper may be
smudged or may not be fed properly. In such cases, follow the procedure described below to correct the
paper curl.

1. Roll up the paper in the opposite direction to the paper curl as shown below.
