fWhile pressing the paper-guide release lever, slide the paper guide to fit the paper size. 
gSend the print data to the printer.
Note
 Remove each sheet or envelope at once after printing. Stacking the sheets or envelopes may cause the 
paper to jam or curl.
 If envelopes get smudged during printing set the Media Type to Thick Paper or Thicker Paper to 
increase the fixing temperature. 
 If the envelope is creased after they are printed, see Improving the print qualityon page 159.
 (For Windows
® users) If DL size double flap envelopes are creased after printing, choose DL Long Edge 
in Paper Size, from the Basic tab. Put a new DL size double-flap envelope in the MP tray with the longest 
edge of the envelope in first, then print again.
 
 When you put paper in the MP tray, remember the following:
 Put the leading edge (top of the paper) in first and push it gently into the tray.
 Make sure that the paper is straight and in the proper position in the MP tray. If it is not, the paper may 
not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam.

Duplex printing2
The supplied printer drivers for Windows® 2000/XP/XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows Vista™, Windows 
Server
® 2003/Windows Server® 2003 x64 Edition and Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater all enable duplex printing. 
For more information about how to choose the settings, see the Help text in the printer driver.
Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper2

If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.

If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the MP tray.

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

When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality. 
(If there is a paper jam, see Paper jams and how to clear themon page 147. If you have a print quality 
problem, see Improving the print qualityon page 159.)

on your operating system.
 Use A4 or A4Long size paper when you use the automatic duplex printing function.
 Make sure that the back cover is closed.
 Make sure that the paper tray is completely inserted into the printer.
 If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray.
 You should use plain paper, recycled paper or thin paper. Do not use bond paper.
