understand and follow the instructions to prevent any paper troubles such as paper jams
and paper skew. See “Loading Special Media” on page 3-13 for directions on loading
prepunched and preprinted paper. Paper can be loaded while a print job is running,
except into the tray that is currently in use.
Proper Paper Handling
Paper is easily affected by storage conditions and environments much as room
temperature or humidity. When the proper moisture content of paper is not maintained
due to sudden temperature changes, the paper may be deformed as shown below and
cause paper jams.

■ Unwrap paper just before printing. Do not leave unwrapped paper for a long time
before printing.
■ Check the paper in the Input Tray has not become deformed before printing. If the
paper is deformed, remove it from the Input Tray.
■ Paper may become deformed and the edges curl upward during the night or
holidays, when the air conditioner or ventilators are temporarily turned off.
Remove paper from the Input Tray and store with moisture-proof wrapping before
the night or holidays.
