Note: Do not remove or insert the paper cassette during printing.
  1. Close the output tray, if necessary.

  2. Open the front cover.


  3. Pull on the front cover to pull out the lower paper cassette.


  4. Slide the edge guides outward.


    Note: If you are using legal-size paper, remove the CD/DVD tray from the product. Press the button on the cassette and then extend it as shown.


  5. Set the front edge guide to the paper size you are using.


    Note: Various paper sizes are marked on the tray.
  6. Insert paper with the glossy or printable side facedown.


    Note: Make sure the paper is loaded against the edge guide and not sticking out from the end of the cassette.
  7. Slide the side edge guides against the paper, but not too tightly.


    Note: Make sure the paper is under the tabs on the edge guides.
  8. Keep the cassette flat as you insert it.


    Note: The output tray opens automatically when you print. Leave enough space in front of the product for the paper to be fully ejected. Do not remove or insert the paper cassette while the product is operating.
