Paper recommendations
Loading paper in the main unit tray
• Insert paper with the face down, and adjust paper guides to the paper format to avoid feed failure, skewing, and 
paper jams.
• Amount of loaded paper must not exceed the loading mark. If the loading mark is exceeded, this may cause feed 
failure, skewing, and paper jams.
• Adding paper in the pile must be avoided because it may cause double feeding.
• When withdrawing the cassette from the main unit, always support it with both hands to avoid dropping it.
• If you use paper already printed by your machine or another printer, the printing quality may not be optimal.
Handling of paper
• Curling must be corrected before printing.
• Curls must not exceed 10 mm.
• Care must be taken with storage to prevent feed faults and image defects due to leaving the paper in conditions of 
high humidity.
Humidity control
• Paper which has become damp, or paper which has been left unused for a very long time, must not be used.
• After opening the paper, it must be kept in a plastic bag.
• Paper with waved ends, paper which is creased, paper with crumples, and any other non-normal paper must not 
be used.
Handling the unit
Operator shocks
During printing, shocks must not be applied to the paper feed cassette, tray, cover, and other parts of the machine.
Moving the unit
When moving the unit on a desk, it must be lifted, and not dragged.
Handling the Toner Cartridge
• Must not be stood on the side, or held upside down.
• Must not be shaken strongly.
