Loading Paper

CAUTION

  • When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.
  • If one or more paper feed trays are installed, do not pull out more than one tray at a time when you are changing or replenishing paper or resolving paper jams. Pressing down forcefully on the machine's upper surfaces can result in malfunctions and/or user injury.

Important

  • Do not stack paper over the limit mark.

Note

  • If multiple sheets are fed at one time, fan the paper before loading it.

  • If you load paper when only a few sheets of paper remain in the tray, multiple sheet feeding may occur. Remove any remaining paper, stack them with the new sheets of paper, and then fan the entire stack before loading it into the tray.

  • Straighten curled or warped paper before loading.

  • For details about the paper sizes and types that can be used, see "Recommended Paper", Specifications.

  • You might at times hear a rustling noise from paper moving through the machine. This noise does not indicate a malfunction.

  • If thin paper jams, decrease the amount of paper set in the tray, and then try printing again.

  • When the condition of the cut edge of the paper is bad, a burr may form at the edge of the paper. When you use paper that has a burr, the orientation of the burr at the leading edge of the paper may reduce the print quality at the leading edge of the paper.
