6 Before Using the Printer
*3 Proper feeding of paper may not be possible at the 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 around half
(around 0.2 inches / 5 mm in paper stack height).
*4 Feeding this paper from the Front Tray can damage the printer. Load in the Rear Tray.
*5 We recommend that you remove the previously printed sheet from the Paper Output Tray
before continuously printing to avoid blurs and discoloration.
*6 When loading paper in stacks, the print side may be marked as it is fed in or sheets may be
stuck to one another causing them not to be fed properly. In this case, load one sheet at a
time.
*7 This paper cannot be used in Macintosh.
