6.1 Please note the following points:
What should I watch out for when loading paper?
To avoid paper misfeeds, observe the following points:

Do not use any paper with the following features:
❍Paper that has already been used in a thermal or ink-jet printer.
❍Creased or wavy paper.
❍Paper with a surface that is too smooth, too rough or irregular.
❍Specially coated paper such as carbon paper or paper with an 
adhesive surface.
❍Paper that is not cut at right-angles.
❍Paper that is held together by glue, adhesive or clips.
❍Paper with labels that detach easily.
❍Warped or curled postcards.

Do not allow the stack of paper in the paper tray to exceed the media 
limit mark.
What should I watch out for when loading envelopes?
To avoid envelope misfeeds in the laser printer, please observe the 
following points:

Do not use self-adhesive envelopes or those with a tear-off strip, clo-
sures, or a window.

Place the envelopes in the tray with the flap down and facing to the left.
