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 the Minimize Margins check box under More Options on the printer driver's Page Layout menu (Windows) or the Maximum option for Printable Area 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.

Note:

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