Loading Paper into Paper Trays

In the following example procedure, paper is loaded into Tray 2.

Important

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

  • Slide the side fences until they are aligned with the sides of the paper, and then re-lock the side fences. If there is space between the side fences and the paper, it may cause the image to be misaligned or thin paper may wrinkle.

  • When loading a low number of sheets, be sure not to squeeze the side fences in too tightly. If the side fences are squeezed too tightly against the paper, the edges may crease, thin paper may wrinkle, or the paper may be misfed.

  • If a paper tray is pushed vigorously when putting it back into place, the position of the tray's side fences may slip out of place.
