Step 2: Load the stack of paper correctly
Solution: Remove the stack of paper from the input tray, reload the paper, and then
slide the paper width guide inward until it stops at the edge of the paper.
NOTE: Do not leave unused photo paper in the input tray. The paper might start
to curl, which could reduce the quality of your printout. For best results, do not
allow printed photos to stack up in the output tray.
