When you have finished printing, reset the two gray levers which are pulled down at step b back to the 
original position.
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 envelopes are creased after they are printed, see Improving the print quality on page 124.
• (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.

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 them on page 115. If you have a print quality 
problem, see Improving the print quality on page 124.)
