    switch to and print on various sizes or types of paper.
    Use the Front Tray to print on large size paper or to print on thick paper such as art 
    paper.
    * There are some kinds of paper, depending on their size or ty pe, that can only be used in either the Auto Sheet Feeder 
    or the Front Tray.
    See  “Using Specialty Media ” on page 15.

    various printers, refer to  “Using Specialty Media ” on page 15, or 
    “Printing Media” in the 
    User’s Guide.
    1Flatten the four corners of th e paper before loading it.
    zWhen paper is curled, gently bend it  in the opposite direction of the curl 
    (without curling the reverse side) and  then load the paper. For details on 
    how to flatten paper curl, refer to  “Media is curled ” on page 68.
    z To prevent paper from being curled, we recommend handling it in the 
    following ways:

    horizontally.
    - Remove only as many sheets from the package as you need right  before printing.

    not lit.

    flashing, set the Front Tray to its 
    normal printing position.
    See  “Returning the Front Tray to Its 
    Normal Printing Position ” on page 14.
