Changing the Paper Size

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.

  • Do not change the size of the paper for the specified printing tray while documents are being printed.

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

  • 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.

  • 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 or the paper may misfeed.

Note

  • After changing the paper size, be sure to specify the appropriate paper size in [Paper Input]. If you do not, misfeeds might occur. For details, see Changing Paper Size Settings.

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

  • Straighten curled or warped paper before loading.

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