Loading Paper in Tray 2

The following example explains the loading procedure for tray 2.

Important

  • 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.

  • Make sure paper is not stacked above the limit mark inside the tray. Misfeeds might occur.

  • 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.

  • Do not mix different types of paper in the same paper tray.

  • Do not move the side paper guides 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.
