Loading Paper Check2 Make sure of the following when you load paper. • When loading two or more sheets of paper, align the edges of the sheets before loading. • When loading two or more sheets of paper, make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the paper load limit. However, proper feeding of paper may not be possible at this maximum capacity depending on the type of paper or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature and humidity). In such cases, reduce the sheets of paper you load at a time to less than half of the paper load limit. • Always load the paper in portrait orientation, regardless of the printing orientation. • When you load the paper, load the paper with the print side facing UP. Align the paper stack against the right side of the rear tray and slide the paper guide so that it just touches the left edge of the stack. Loading Paper Check3 Check to see if the paper you are printing on is not too thick or curled. Media Types You Cannot Use Check4 Make sure of the following when you load envelopes. • When printing on envelopes, refer to Loading Paper , and prepare the envelopes before printing. Once you have prepared the envelopes, load them in portrait orientation. If the envelopes are placed in landscape orientation, they will not feed properly.

If the paper tears in the rear tray, see Paper Jams to remove it. If there are any foreign objects in the rear tray, be sure to turn off the machine, unplug it from the power supply, then remove the foreign object. 607

Copying/Printing Stops Before It Is Completed Check1 Is the paper loaded? Make sure that paper is loaded. If the machine has run out of paper, load paper. Check2 Do the printing documents have lots of photographs or illustrations? As printing large data such as photos or graphics takes time for the machine and the computer to process, the machine may appear to have stopped operating. In addition, when printing data that uses a large amount of ink continuously on plain paper, the machine maypause temporarily. In either case, wait until the process is complete. Note • If you are printing a document with a large printing area or printing multiple copies of a document, printing may pause to allow the ink to dry. Check3 Has the machine been printing continuously for a long period? If the machine has been printing continuously for a long time, the print head or other parts around it may overheat. The machine may stop printing at a line break for a period of time and then resume printing. In this case, wait for a while without operation. If the printing still does not resume, interrupt your print session at a convenient time and turn the machine off for at least 15 minutes. Caution • The print head and the surrounding area can become extremely hot inside the machine. Never touch the print head or nearby components. Check4 If copying stops before it is completed, try to copy again. If a certain time passes after some errors occurred while copying, the machine stops the operation. 609
