Changing the Paper Size in Trays 1 - 4

This section describes how to change the paper size in trays 1 hyphen 4.

The paper size setting is changed in the same way for trays 1 hyphen 4.

In the following example procedure, the paper size setting for tray 1 is changed.

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 trays 1 hyphen 4 by adjusting the positions of the side fences and end fence.

1Check that paper in tray 1 is not being used, and then pull tray 1 carefully out until it stops.
