dirty dueto the wider clearance between the print head and the loaded paper. It
may also reduce print quality.

For Plain Paper
Turn the paper over and reload itto print on the other side.
Leaving the paper loaded in the Rear Tray fora tong time maycause thepaper

resolve the problem.
We recommend putting unused paper back into the package andkeep themon
a level surface.

surface curled, thepaper may becomedirty, notfeed properly, orboth. Use such
paper after correcting paper curl asfollows.

plain paper toavoid stainingor scratching the surface.
