Product Safety Guide: Choosing a location
 If you do not use the machine often, the paper may have been in the paper
tray too long. Turn over the stack of paper in the paper tray. Also, fan the
paper stack and then rotate the paper 180° in the paper tray.
 Open the back cover (face-up output tray) to let the printed paper exit onto
the face-up output tray.
 Choose Reduce Paper Curl mode in the printer driver when you do not use
our recommended paper.
