1. Prepare paper.

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

   

   Note

   • Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may cause paper jams.

   • If paper is curled, hold the curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat.

     For more details on handling curled paper, see Check 3 in Printed Surface Is Smudged/Scratched/Ink Blots/Paper Curl/Paper Is Smudged During Automatic 2-sided Printing.
