Load the media printable side up in the sheet feeder. See the
instruction sheets packed with the media to determine which
side is the printable side. Some types of media have cut
corners to help identify the correct loading direction, as
shown in the illustration.

Note:
If you extend the printable area by selecting Maximum as the
Printable Area setting in the printer software, the cut corner on
special paper may mar your printout.
Make sure that the paper stack fits under the arrow mark
located on the inside surface of the left edge guide.
If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly toward the
opposite side before loading. Printing on curled paper may
cause ink to smear on your printout, especially when printing
with Maximum selected as the Printable Area setting.
