If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.

If paper is curled, turn over the stack, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the Manual Feed
Slot.

If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper, straighten it and turn over the
stack.

If there is a paper jam, see Paper jams in the User’s Guide. If you have a print quality problem, see
Improving the print quality in the User’s Guide.

Manual duplex printing

1

The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows

®

driver

instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper, straighten it well,
or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or thick paper is not recommended.

Simultaneous scanning, printing and faxing

1

Your machine can print from your computer while sending or receiving a fax in memory, or while scanning a
document into the computer. Fax sending will not be stopped during PC printing. However, when the machine
is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the PC printing operation, and then continues printing when
copying or fax receiving has finished.
