Loading Single Sheets of Paper

This section provides instructions on how to load paper in the sheet feeder.

Note:

Leave enough space in front of this product for paper to be fully ejected.

Open the paper support, then slide out the extension, and then open the feeder guard.

Lower the output tray and slide out the extension.

Slide out the left edge guide so that the distance between the two edge guides is slightly wider than the paper you are going to load.

Load the paper with the printable side up so it is against the right edge guide, and slide it into the sheet feeder.

Slide the left edge guide so that it meets the left edge of the paper.

Note:

Always load paper short edge first into the sheet feeder.

Make sure that the paper stack is flush with or lower than the triangular load-limit mark on the edge guide.

Make sure that the paper is loaded under the tabs inside the edge guides.

Make sure the adjust lever is set to the  position. If you print on paper other than envelopes when the lever is set to the  position, print quality and speed will be compromised.

Set the feeder guard back.

Note:

If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly toward the opposite side before loading. Printing on curled paper may cause ink to smear on your printout.
