Thick Paper
Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Some types of paper
have rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper
on a flat place and rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth them. Feeding
rough edged paper may cause paper jams.
NOTE: If the paper jams even after you smooth it out,
load the paper in the MP Tray with the leading edge
raised up a few millimeters as shown in the illustration.
