Loading Paper in Cassette 2 (Lower Cassette)

You can load envelopes and paper up to this size in the lower paper cassette: Legal (8.5 × 14 inches [216 × 356 mm]) If you are loading pre-punched paper, use the rear paper feed slot.

Set the front edge guide to the position for the paper size you are using.
Do one of the following:
- Insert paper with the glossy or printable side facedown.
  
  Note: Make sure the paper is loaded against the front edge guide and does not extend beyond the triangle symbol at the rear edge of the cassette.
- Insert up to 10 envelopes, printable side down and flap edge left, as shown.
Slide the edge guides against the paper, but not too tightly.

Note: Make sure the paper fits under the tabs on the edge guides.
Keep the cassette flat as you slide it into your product.

Always follow these paper loading guidelines:

Load only the recommended number of sheets or envelopes.
Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the printable side.
Fan and align the edges of envelopes, and flatten stacks before loading.
If paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled paper may cause paper jams and smeared printouts.
Do not load different types of paper in the cassette.
Load paper short edge first and printable side facedown.
Load envelopes printable side facedown and flap edge left.
Make sure the paper is under the tabs on the edge guides and not sticking out past the triangle symbol at the end of the cassette.
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 an envelope that is curled, folded, or too thin, or that has a plastic window.
If print quality declines when printing multiple envelopes, try loading one envelope at a time.
Check the paper package for any additional loading instructions.
