Loading Single Sheets

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

Lower the output tray and slide out the extension. Next, slide the left edge 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.

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 on the inside of the edge guide.

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 check box selected under More Options (Windows) or with Maximum selected as the Printable Area setting (Macintosh).
