The edges of the sheets are rough.
Turn the sheets the other way up or smooth the edges before loading.
Sheets are curled or wavy.
• Flatten curls and waviness before loading paper.
• Turn the sheets the other way up or smooth the edges before loading.
• Stacking too many sheets may cause the sheets on top to curl greatly. If this happens, reduce the
number of stacked sheets.
Sheets absorbed moisture and became limp.
Sheets that will not be used for a long time should be protected from moisture by, for example, storing
them in a sealed bag.

to prevent sheets from absorbing moisture.
Depending on the country of use, the paper tray heater may not be supplied. For details, contact your
service representative.
