You can
print documents and photos on a variety of paper types and
sizes.
Flip the feeder guard forward, then raise the paper
support.
Slide the edge guides out all the way.
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: Do not
fan or curl photo paper.
Do one of the following:
Insert paper,
glossy or printable side up and short edge first, at the center of
the paper support.
Note: If you
have set the long edge as the width of a user-defined paper size,
load paper long edge first.
Load up to 10
envelopes in the center of the paper support. Load them printable
side up and flap edge left.
Load a sheet
of loose-leaf or other paper with holes facing as shown.
Note:
Automatic 2-sided printing is not available for pre-punched
paper.
To load a sheet of paper longer than legal
size, close the paper support and output tray, then flatten the
leading edge of the paper as shown.
Slide the edge guides against the paper, but not too
tightly.
Tilt the feeder guard
until part A is not touching the paper.
Note: The
feeder guard is designed to stop halfway to prevent paper feed
problems. Tilt it until it stops. Do not place objects on the
feeder guard. Doing so may prevent paper from feeding.
If prompted by the product's LCD screen, select the size
and type of the paper you loaded and press the OK button.
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. For letterhead paper, if you
print on paper that is smaller than the setting in the printer
driver, the printer may print beyond the edges of the paper which
can lead to ink smears on your printouts and excess ink building up
inside the printer. Borderless printing and 2-sided printing are
not available for letterhead paper. Printing on letterhead may be
slower.
Pull out the output tray.
Always follow
these paper loading guidelines:
Load only the
recommended number of sheets.
Load paper short
edge first.
Note: You can
load paper long edge first only if you have selected the
User-Defined paper size setting and set the width of the paper as
the size of the long edge.
Load letterhead
or pre-printed paper top edge first.
Do not load paper
above the arrow mark inside the edge guides.
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.
Check the paper package for any additional loading
instructions.
