Caution

Do not print on thermal paper, paper exclusively for use in ink jet printers, glossy paper (paper whose surface has been spe- cially treated), and envelopes. Doing so may damage the printer.

Note

Loading too many sheets into the sheet feeder may cause paper jams or misfeeding.

Be aware that when using automatic feed mode, the last sheet to feed will occasionally feed incorrectly depending on the pa- per type.
