2. Before loading the paper, flex the sheets back and forth to loosen
them, then fan them. Tap the edges on a table top to straighten
them. Doing this before you load paper helps prevent paper jams.

If the paper has a preferred print side, place the print side facing
you. If you use letterhead paper, load the paper with the letter-head
edge down and facing you.
