Loading Legal size paper

This section describes how to load Legal size paper into the printer.

The same procedure applies to A4 paper (297 mm) or larger.

Important

  • Do not move the side paper guide 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.

1Remove the rear cover using a coin.

4Pinch the extender in the "PUSH" direction, and then pull out the extender until it stops (you will hear a click).

After extension, make sure the arrows on the extender and tray are aligned.

7Load the new paper stack print side up.

image

Make sure paper is not stacked higher than the upper limit (upper line) marked inside the tray.

Slide the guides inward until they are flush against the paper's sides.

Make sure the paper is not stacked higher than the projection on the side paper guides.

8Check there are no gaps between the paper and the paper guides; both side and front end paper guides.

image

If there is a gap between paper and the front end paper guide, as in the example below, the paper might not feed in correctly.

9Carefully push Tray 1 straight into the printer.

To avoid paper jams, make sure the tray is securely inserted.

Note

  • To reinsert the extender, you might have to push it with moderate force.
