   Align the edges of paper. If paper is curled, flatten it.

   

   • Loosen the stiff portions of the corners. If paper is curled, hold the opposite corners and gently twist them in the opposite direction.

     

   • Press down on all four corners and edges of paper to flatten them.

      

   • If the corner of the envelope flap is folded, flatten it.

   • Use a pen to press the leading edge in the inserting direction flat and sharpen the crease.

     
     

     The figures above show a side view of the leading edge of the envelope.

   Important

   • The envelopes may jam in the printer if they are not flat or the edges are not aligned. Make sure that no curl or puff exceeds 0.12 in. (3 mm).

   • For envelopes or medicine envelopes smaller than A4 size, load them one by one.

   • If paper is not fed correctly into the printer despite these instructions, reduce the number of sheets.

3. Open the top feed and then pull it upwards.

   Important

   • Do not slide the paper guides too hard against the paper. The paper may not be fed properly.

   Important

   • There are many types of paper available, each best suited to a particular printing use. Each media type has specific preset settings (how ink is used and sprayed, distance from nozzles, etc.), that allow you to print to that type with optimal image quality. The wrong paper settings may cause poor printout color quality or scratches on the printed surface.

   • For details on media types that you can select, see "Paper Information List".

   • When printing on small size paper, the printed documents may remain on the output guide. Remove the remaining printed documents before performing the next printing.
