Loading Paper
This section explains how to load paper into the paper tray and the bypass tray.
• When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.
• When pulling out the paper tray, do not pull it out swiftly. The tray may fall and cause injury.
For information about supported paper, precautions for storing paper and print areas, see page 40
"Supported Paper".
Loading Paper into Tray1 and 2
The following example explains the loading procedure for the standard paper tray (Tray 1).
The same procedure applies to loading paper in Tray 2.
• Curled paper may jam. Straighten curled paper before loading.
• After loading paper in the tray, specify the paper type and size using the control panel to avoid
printing problems. This machine does not detect the paper size automatically.
• Be sure to select the correct paper size and feed direction using the paper size dial on the tray.
Otherwise, the printer might be damaged, or printing problems might occur.
• Make sure the paper stack does not exceed the upper limit mark inside the paper tray. Excessive
stacking can cause paper jams.
• If paper jams occur frequently, flip the paper stack in the tray.
• Do not mix different types of paper in the same paper tray.
• After loading paper, specify the paper size using the control panel and paper type using the
control panel. When printing a document, specify the same paper size and type in the printer
driver as specified on the printer.
• Do not move the side fences and end fence forcefully. Doing so may damage the tray.
• Do not slide the paper tray in forcefully when inserting the loaded tray into the printer. Otherwise,
the side and end fences or the paper guide of the bypass tray might move.
• When loading label paper, load it one by one.
