Loading Paper in the Rear Paper Feed Slot

You can print documents and photos on a variety of paper types and sizes using the rear paper feed slot.

Open the rear paper feed cover and extend the paper support, then tilt it backward.
Slide the edge guides outward.
Do one of the following:
- Insert a sheet of paper, glossy or printable side up and short edge first in the center of the rear paper feed slot.
- Load envelopes printable side up and flap edge left.
- Load one sheet of loose-leaf or other paper with holes facing as shown.
Slide the edge guides against the paper, but not too tightly.
If prompted by the product's LCD screen, select the size and type of the paper you loaded. The output tray extends automatically when you print.

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 letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge first.
If you have trouble loading a stack of envelopes, press each envelope flat before loading it or load one envelope at a time.
Do not load envelopes that are curled, folded, or too thin, or that have plastic windows.
Do not load envelopes with adhesive surfaces.
Check the paper package for any additional loading instructions.
If you use paper with binder holes, load only one sheet at a time.
