You can load
paper up to this size in the paper cassette: Legal
(8.5 × 14 inches [216 × 356 mm]).
Note: Before
loading paper, make sure your product is not currently printing,
scanning, or copying.
Open the front
cover.
Pull out the paper cassette until it stops.
Slide the edge guides outward.
Do one of the following:
Insert paper
into the cassette with the glossy or printable side facedown and
slide it in until it stops.
Note: Make
sure the paper is loaded against the rear of the
cassette.
For legal-size paper, extend the legal paper
guide and load paper using the guide line as shown.
Insert up to
10 envelopes with the printable side facedown and flap edge left,
as shown.
Load a sheet
of loose-leaf or other paper with holes as shown.
Note: Do not
select automatic 2-sided printing for this type of paper and do not
print over the holes.
Slide the edge guides against the paper, but not too
tightly.
Note: Make
sure the paper fits under the tabs on the edge guides.
Slide the cassette back into the product until it stops
and close the front cover.
Select the size and type
of the paper you loaded on the product LCD screen and select
OK.
Note: If you
are printing on letterhead, make sure you select Letterhead as the paper type. Make sure you
select the correct paper size setting.
Extend the output tray.
Note: Do not
remove or insert the paper cassette during printing.
Always follow these paper loading guidelines:
Load only the
recommended number of sheets.
Load paper short
edge first and printable side facedown.
Make sure the
paper is under the tabs on the edge guides and not sticking out
from the rear end of the cassette.
Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading.
Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the printable
side.
If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it
slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on
curled paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.
Paper feed problems may occur frequently for manual
2-sided printing when printing on one side of pre-printed paper.
Reduce the number of sheets to half or less, or load one sheet of
paper at a time if paper jams continue.
Make sure you are using long-grain paper. If you are
not sure what type of paper you are using, check the paper
packaging or contact the manufacturer to confirm the paper
specifications.
Fan and align the
edges of envelopes before loading. 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.
Load letterhead
or pre-printed paper top edge first.
Check the paper
package for any additional loading instructions.
