Loading Paper and Envelopes in the
Rear Paper Feed Slot
You can
print envelopes or documents in a variety of paper types and sizes
in the rear paper feed slot.
Extend the output tray and open the paper stopper.
Note: If you
are using legal-size or longer paper, do not open the paper
stopper.
Pull up the paper support for the rear
paper feed slot.
Flip the feeder guard forward, then slide
the edge guides outward.
If you are inserting a stack of paper, fan the sheets
first and tap the stack on a flat surface to even the edges.
Note: You can
load one sheet of binder paper with holes on one of the long edges
as shown. Do not select automatic 2-sided printing for this type of
paper.
Do one of the following:
Insert paper,
glossy or printable side up and short edge first, in the center of
the tray.
Caution:
To prevent paper feeding problems, make
sure you do not load too much paper in the slot.
Load
envelopes short edge first, with the flap facing down and the flap
edge to the left, in the center of the slot.
Slide the edge guides against the paper, but not too
tightly.
Select the size and type of paper you just loaded on the
product LCD screen.
Always follow
these paper loading guidelines:
Load only the
recommended number of sheets.
Load paper short
edge first, no matter which way your document faces.
Load the
printable side faceup.
Load letterhead
or pre-printed paper top edge first.
Do not load paper
above the arrow mark inside the edge guides.
If you have
trouble loading a stack of envelopes, press each envelope flat
before loading it or load one envelope at a time.
If print quality
declines when printing multiple envelopes, try loading one envelope
at a time.
Do not load
envelopes that are curled, folded, or too thin.
Check the paper
package for any additional loading instructions.
