Make sure that you fan the sheets of paper well before
placing them. Thin paper, recycled paper, pre-punched
paper, heavy paper, and tab paper should be fanned
particularly well before loading it.
•
Never place paper or any other items in the empty part
of the drawer next to the paper stack. Doing so may
cause paper jams.
•
When you are printing in the Staple mode, do not
remove the output sheets that are waiting to be
stapled. (Printing and stapling resume after you clear
