Loading legal size paper

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

The same procedure applies to A4 paper 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.
