Note

• When reloading the paper, confirm that you are using the paper suited for printing and are

loading it correctly.

• We recommend you use paper other than A5 sized one to print documents with photos or

graphics; otherwise, the printout may curl and cause paper exit jams.

If you cannot remove the paper or the paper tears inside the printer, or if the paper jam error continues
after removing the paper, contact the service center.
