Paper Paper Handling Precautions To ensure optimum print results, take care when handling paper before and after printing. Loading Precautions Use compatible paper. Load paper with the print side face down in the paper trays. Load paper with the paper grain parallel to the feed direction. Do not load paper of different types at the same time.
Page 107: Paper Storage Precautions
Paper Paper Storage Precautions Do not store paper in humid places. Do not store paper in direct sunlight. Store paper flat. Store unused paper in the original package. Paper Type Precautions Plain paper Use the bypass tray to print on paper heavier than 157 g/m (297.6 lb.).
Page 108: Non-Compatible Paper
Paper Only one-sided printing is possible. Remove sheets from the output tray individually, as they come out. Before handling, make sure printed sheets have fully dried. If you want to stack prints soon after they are printed, we recommend inserting a moisture-absorbent sheet, like copy paper, between prints.
