Page 80: Loading Paper
Loading Paper Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensures trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper tray while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Sizes and Capacities” on page 3.2 for acceptable paper capacities for each tray.
Page 81 Flex the paper sheets back and forth to separate the pages, and then fan them while holding one edge. Tap the edge of the stack on a flat surface to even it up. Load paper with the print side facing up. Make sure that all four corners are flat in the tray and under the corner brackets, as shown below.
Page 82 Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the tray may cause a paper jam. Pinch the paper guide, as shown and move it towards the paper until it lightly touches the side of the stack. Do not press the guide too tightly against the edge of the paper as the guide may bend the paper.
Page 83: Changing The Paper Size In The Tray
Changing the Paper Size in the Tray The tray is preset to Letter or A4 size, depending on your country. To change the size to A4 or Letter, you must adjust the paper length guide properly. Lift the paper length guide and place it in the correct position for the paper size you are loading.
Page 84: Using The Optional Tray 2
Load paper with the print side facing up. For more information, see steps 4 and 5 on page 3.5~3.6. Pinch the paper guide, as shown and move it towards the paper until it lightly touches the side of the stack. Do not push the guide to tightly against the edge of the paper as it may cause the paper to bend.

Multi-purpose Tray The Multi-purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of material, such as transparencies, cards and envelopes.
Page 86 If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before loading. For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems. Load the print material with the print side facing down and against the right edge of the tray.
Page 87 If you want to print on previously printed paper from the Multi-purpose Tray, the printed side should be facing up with the uncurled edge towards the printer. If you experience problems with the paper feeding, turn the paper around. : Make sure that you have not loaded too much print material.
Page 88: Using The Manual Feed
Using the Manual Feed If you select Manual in the Source option when changing print settings, you can manually load a sheet of print material in the Multi-purpose Tray.
