Important Safety Instructions

Do not use this product near appliances that use water, in a wet basement or near
a swimming pool.

Avoid using a telephone other than a cordless type during an electrical storm.
There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

Paper

The quality of your document can be affected by the kind of paper you use in
the MFC. To ensure the best print quality for the settings you’ve chosen, always
set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load. You can use plain paper,
inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes. We
recommend testing various paper types before purchasing large quantities. For
best results, use the recommended paper.

Handling and Using Special Paper

■

Store paper in the original bag, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away
from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

■

The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Do not touch the shiny (coated) side.
Load glossy paper with the shiny side facing up toward you.

■

Do not touch either side of transparencies, because they absorb water and
perspiration easily, and may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies
designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only
recommended transparencies.

Note

by removing each page after it exits the machine.
