Loading Paper
Single Sheets
- Open the output tray and its extension.
- Flip the feeder guard forward.
- Insert your paper against the right edge of the sheet feeder.
- Slide the left edge guide against the paper (but not too tightly).
- Flip the feeder guard back over the paper.
Note: Make sure you didn't insert the paper in front of the feeder guard.
Also be sure to:
- Load the printable side face-up. It's often whiter or brighter than the other side.
- Load letterhead or preprinted paper top edge first.
- Load paper short-edge first, even for landscape-oriented documents and photos.
- Don't load paper above the arrow on the left edge guide.
- Load up to approximately 100 sheets of plain paper at a time.
If you're loading envelopes or special paper, see the next sections.
Envelopes
- Load up to 10 envelopes at a time, flap edge left, and printable side up, against the right edge of the sheet feeder.
- Slide the left edge guide against the envelopes (but not too tightly).
- Lift up the scanner and set the paper thickness lever to the
position (remember to set it back to the
position when you're done).
Note: For best results, press each envelope flat before loading, or load one envelope at a time.
- Lower the scanner until it clicks into place.
Select the following settings when printing on envelopes:
- Plain paper as the Type or Media Type setting
- The correct envelope size as the Size (Windows®) or Paper Size (Macintosh®) setting
