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.

Slide out the extension tray.

Move the feeder guard towards you.

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

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

Load the paper in the sheet feeder with the face up, and the top edge down. Slide the edge guide to fit the width of the paper.

Note:

Always load paper into the sheet feeder with the short edge first.

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

Ensure that you set the adjust lever 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.
