| Turn the paper over and reload it to print on the other side. | |||||
| Leaving the paper loaded in the Rear Tray for a long time may cause the paper | |||||
| to curl. If this happens, load the paper with the other side facing up. It may | |||||
| resolve the problem. |
|
| |||
| We recommend putting unused paper back into the package and keep them on | |||||
| a level surface. |
|

| For Other Paper |
|
| |||
| If you are using paper with either any of the corners or the whole printing | |||||
| surface curled, the paper may become dirty, not feed properly, or both. Use such | |||||
| paper after correcting paper curl as follows. | |||||
| (1)With the printing side (A) facing up, cover the paper with a fresh sheet of | |||||
|
| plain paper to avoid staining or scratching the surface. | ||||
| (2)Roll up the paper in a direction opposite to paper curl as seen below. | |||||

| Note |
|
| ||
| Depending on the media type, the paper may be smudged or may not be fed | |||||
| properly even if it is not curled. |
|
| |||
| In such case, follow the procedure described above in “For Other Paper” to curl | |||||
| the paper before printing. |
|
| |||

Inappropriate Paper Thickness Lever | Adjust the position of the Paper Thickness Lever according to the type of paper | |||||
setting. | you are printing on. |
|
| |||
| See “Paper Handling” on page 12. | |||||
| Depending on the printing content, the printing surface may become scratched | |||||
| even for the types of paper to set the lever to the left. In this case, set the Paper | |||||
| Thickness Lever to the right. |
|
| |||
| * Reset the Paper Thickness Lever to the left when you finish printing. If the | |||||
|
| lever is not set back to the left, the inside of the machine is more likely to get | ||||
|
| dirty due to the wider clearance between the print head and the loaded paper. | ||||
|
| It may also reduce print quality. |
|
| ||
|
| Note |
|
| ||
| If the corners or edges of the paper are smudged, try to print with the Paper | |||||
| Thickness Lever set to the right. |
|
| |||
