Loading Single Sheets

Follow the steps below to load plain paper into the printer.

Pull out the output tray. Next, hold down the tab on the left edge guide and slide the guide so that the distance between the edge guides is slightly wider than the width of your paper.

Fan a stack of paper, and then tap it on a flat surface to even the edges.

Load the stack of paper in the sheet feeder with the printable side up and the right edge of the paper resting against the right edge guide. Then, slide the left edge guide against the left edge of the paper. Make sure that the paper stack is loaded under the tabs inside the edge guides.

Caution:

Do not force the paper into the printer's sheet feeder. Load the paper so that the edge rests inside and can be seen from above when looking down into the sheet feeder. Loading the paper too far into the sheet feeder may damage the printer. Refer to the illustration below.

Note:

Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.

Always load paper into the sheet feeder short edge first.

Make sure that the paper stack fits under the arrow mark inside the edge guide.

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

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, especially when printing with Minimize Margins selected as the Printable Area setting.
