• If you cannot make prints as you want because of paper type, paper size, or paper capacity problems,
use recommended paper. See "Recommended Paper Sizes and Types", About This Machine .
• Curled paper causes misfeeds, soiled paper edges, or slipped positions while performing staple or
stack printing. When using curled paper, first straighten the curl with your hands or by placing the
paper upside down. Also, to prevent paper from curling, lay paper on a flat surface, and do not lean
it against the wall.
