Loading Paper in Tray 1

The following example explains the loading procedure for the standard paper tray (Tray 1). The same procedure can be used for the optional paper feed unit.

Important

  • Make sure paper is not stacked above the limit mark inside the tray. Misfeeds might occur.

  • After loading paper in the tray, specify the paper type and size using Smart Organizing Monitor.

  • Do not mix different types of paper in the same paper tray.

  • Do not move the side paper guides forcefully. Doing so can damage the tray.

  • Do not move the end paper guide forcefully. Doing so can damage the tray.

  • When inserting the tray, make sure it is not slanted. Inserting it at a slant can damage the printer.

  • Fan the paper thoroughly before loading it in the paper tray.
