Loading Paper into Paper Trays

In the following example procedure, paper is loaded into Tray 1.

CAUTION


  • When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.

Important

  • For details about trays that can be loaded for each paper size and type, see Paper Size Specifications and Paper Type Specifications.

  • If paper jams occur frequently, flip the paper stack in the tray.

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

  • When loading paper whose size cannot be detected automatically, specify and enter the paper size using the control panel. When printing a document, specify the same paper size and type in the printer driver as specified on the printer.

  • Do not move the side paper guides and end paper guide forcefully. Doing so may damage the tray.

  • When loading label paper, load it one by one.

1Pull the tray carefully until it stops, lift the front side of the tray, and then pull it out of the printer.
