How to load paper in the Cassette

Important:

• Make sure the printer is located on a flat level surface. Paper jams may occur otherwise.
  
• You can load only A4, B5, A5, or Letter-sized plain paper in the Cassette.
  
• Always load paper in portrait orientation. Loading paper in landscape orientation can cause paper jams.
  
  

1. Flatten the four corners of the paper before loading it.
   
   Note: Before loading paper, be sure to flatten its four corners. Otherwise, the paper may jam. When paper is curled, hold the opposing curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat.
   
   
2. Pull out the Cassette from the printer and remove the cassette cover.
   
   
   
   
3. Prepare for loading the paper in the Cassette. Pull the tab (A) towards you to unlock and extend the Cassette.
   
   
   
   
4. Load the paper.
   
   
   
   (1) Load the paper stack WITH THE PRINT SIDE FACING DOWN and THE LEADING EDGE TO THE FAR SIDE, and align it against the right side of the Cassette.
   
   (2) Slide the Paper Guide (B) to align with the mark of paper size. The Paper Guide (B) will stop when it aligns with the corresponding mark of paper size.
   
   Note: There may be a little space between the Paper Guide (B) and the paper stack.
   
   (3) Slide the Paper Guide (C) on the left to align completely with the side of the paper stack.
   
   Note: Do not load higher than the Load Limit Mark (D).
   
   
5. Insert the Cassette into the printer.
