Loading Paper and Envelopes in the Rear Feed Slot

You can load an envelope or a sheet of paper in the rear feed slot in the following sizes:
  1. Extend the output tray and open the paper stopper.


    Note: If you are using legal-size or longer paper, do not open the paper stopper.
  2. Open the rear paper feed slot and push it back.


  3. Hold one sheet of paper with the printable side faceup and slide the edge guides against the paper, but not too tightly.


    Note: Load envelopes short edge first, with the flap facing down and to the right.


  4. Insert the paper or envelope into the slot until the printer feeds it automatically.


Always follow these paper loading guidelines:
Note: You can load a sheet of binder paper with holes in the rear feed slot, but only for one-sided printing from your computer.
