  • Page 124 7. Slide right paper guide (G) to align both paper guides with both sides of the paper stack. Do not slide the paper guides too hard against the paper. The paper may not be fed properly. Important • Always load paper in the portrait orientation (H). Loading paper in the landscape orientation (I) can cause paper jams.
  • Page 125 • For loading long-length paper (paper that the length is up to 39.00 in. (990.6 mm)), the leading edges of paper are lifted depending on the paper weight and printouts may be misaligned. Prevent the leading edges of paper from lifting by holding the parts protruding from the tray or other ways.
  • Page 126 • For printing on long-length paper (paper that the length is up to 39.00 in. (990.6 mm)), hold ejected paper with your hand or use the printer at the location that paper does not fall. If paper falls, the printed surface may get dirty or be damaged.
