Loading Paper into Trays 1 - 4

This section describes how to load paper into trays 1 4.

Every paper tray is loaded in the same way.

In the following example procedure, paper is loaded in tray 2.

Tray 1 can hold 8¹/₂ × 11 paper only. If you want to print on A4, A5, or B5 JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) from tray 1, contact your service representative.
Check the paper edges are aligned at the right side.

Carefully pull out the paper tray until it stops.
Square the paper and load it print side up.
Do not stack paper over the limit mark.
Carefully push the paper tray fully in.

When loading a low number of sheets, be sure not to squeeze the side fences in too tightly. If the paper bows, it might not feed in properly.
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.
Various sizes of paper can be loaded in trays 2 4 by adjusting the positions of side fences and end fence. For details, see “Changing the Paper Size in Trays 2 4”.
You can load envelopes in trays 2 4. For details about how to load envelopes, see “Changing the Paper Size in Trays 2 4”. For details about various details about and recommendations concerning envelopes, see “Envelopes”.
Each tray can hold up to 550 sheets.
