when the UPC-21L printing pack is used and 80
sheets of paper when the UPC-21S printing pack

lays flat in the paper tray. If the paper is curled, it
will overflow from the paper tray and paper may

along with the protection sheets before
attempting to place the paper in the paper tray.
• Do not place different types of paper in the tray at
the same time.
