Loading Legal size paper

This section explains how to load Legal size paper into the machine.

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

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

Carefully pull tray 1, and then pull out with both hands.
Place the tray on a flat surface.
Release the extender locks on both sides of the tray, and then pull out the extender until it clicks.
After extension, make sure the extender's inner surface and the scale are aligned.
Lock the extender in the extended position.
Pinch the clip on the side paper guide, and then slide it to match the standard size.
Pinch the end paper guide and slide it inward to match the Legal paper size.
Load the new paper stack print side down.
Make sure paper is not stacked higher than the upper limit 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.

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