6A short length of the fax paper will feed out and be cut off. (If this doesn’t happen, repeat the loading procedure.)

Note: The fax has a built-in anti-curl mechanism that will help to reduce paper curling problems. The anti-curl mechanism is more effective at the beginning of the paper roll and less effective towards the end.
