Loading Paper in Tray 1

The following example explains loading procedure for the standard paper tray (Tray 1).

Important

  • Before printing on paper other than envelopes, make sure to pull up the levers on the machine rear, inside the rear cover. 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 machine 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 machine.

  • Curled paper may jam. Straighten curled paper before loading.
