Loading and Setting the Paper

Notes on Making Adjustments

❏ Correctly load the paper that actually requires
adjustment and then select the paper type that
matches the loaded paper.
❏ If paper with visible curls, wrinkles, waves, folds,
or bends is used, correct adjustment may not be
possible. Remove curled, wavy, or folded sections
by cutting them off.
❏ Ensure that light from outside (direct sunlight,
etc.) does not enter the interior of the printer. If
this occurs, the printer may not be able to
correctly read the adjustment pattern. If light
enters the interior of the printer and automatic
adjustment is not possible, then carry out manual
adjustment.
