Loading Paper into the Multi Bypass Tray

Important

  • 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 you load paper when only a few sheets of paper remain in the tray, multiple sheet feeding may occur. Remove any remaining paper, stack them with the new sheets of paper, and then fan the entire stack before loading it into the tray.

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

  • When setting tab stock, always use the tab fence.
