If there are instructions on the paper package about which side of the paper to load, follow those instructions.
When the paper is loaded into the paper deck unit, the side facing down is the one printed on.
If problems, such as poor print quality or paper jams occur, try turning the paper stack over and reloading it.
For more information on the print direction of preprinted paper (paper which has logos or patterns already printed on it), see "Relationship Between the Original Orientation and Paper Orientation."
Rewrap any remaining paper in its original package, and store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.
If paper runs out and printing is stopped, load a new paper stack. Printing restarts after the new paper stack is loaded.
