  2. Pull up the paper support for the rear paper feed slot.


  3. Flip the feeder guard forward, then slide the edge guides outward.


  4. 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.


  5. 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.

  6. Slide the edge guides against the paper, but not too tightly.
