Loading tips for paper and other media
Most papers have a side that’s been conditioned for printing and a
side that’s not conditioned for printing. The so-called “print side” is
usually indicated on the paper’s packaging. Before loading, check
your paper’s packaging to determine which is the print side, and
always load with the print side facing toward you.
