Loading Paper in the Bypass Tray

Before printing on paper other than envelopes, make sure that the levers inside the rear cover are pulled up. Leaving the levers lowered can cause print quality problems when printing on paper other than envelopes.

After loading paper in the tray, specify the paper type and size using the control panel to avoid printing problems. This printer does not detect the paper size automatically.

Load paper with the print side up and in the short-edge feed direction.

If paper is curled, straighten it before loading, by bending the paper in the opposite direction to the curl, for example.

Do not load paper while the printer is printing.

Make sure paper is not stacked above the paper guides inside the bypass tray.
