Changing the Paper Size in the Small Size Paper Tray

This section describes how to change the paper size in the small size paper tray.

Important

  • If a paper tray is pushed vigorously when putting it back into place, the position of the tray's side fences may slip out of place.

  • Check the paper edges are aligned at the right side.

  • Slide the side fences until they are aligned with the paper size, and then re-lock the side fences.

Various sizes of paper can be loaded in the small size paper tray by adjusting the positions of the side fences and end fence.
