C:

When printing near the minimum bottom margin, some colors may not be printed properly. If this occurs, try increasing the bottom margin.

:

You can extend the minimum bottom margin to 3 mm by selecting Maximum as the Printable Area setting on the printer software's Paper menu (Windows) or in the Page Setup dialog box (Macintosh). However, print quality may decline in the expanded area. Before printing large jobs using this setting, print a single sheet to confirm printout quality.

:

When printing with the No Margins feature, print quality may decline in the top and bottom areas of the printout, or the area may be smeared.

Note:
Always load paper into the sheet feeder short edge first. Load envelopes flap edge first with the flap side down.
