Description

Loading paper in the MX882

Solution

Paper Sources to Load Paper

The machine has two paper sources to feed paper; Cassette and Rear Tray.

You can load paper in either one of the paper sources, depending on the page size and media type of paper. Paper is fed from the Cassette or Rear Tray depending on the selection of the page size or media type.

See Media Types You Can Use.

Note
When printing, select the correct page size and media type. If you select the wrong page size or media type, the machine may feed paper from the wrong paper source or may not print with the proper print quality.
For details on how to load paper in each paper source, see Loading Paper in the Cassette or Loading Paper in the Rear Tray.
If Auto feed switch is set to ON for FAX paper settings on the fax menu screen, the machine will switch the paper source automatically when papers run out in the paper source for plain paper and print received faxes.

Loading Plain Paper in the Cassette

When you use A4, B5, A5, or Letter-sized plain paper, load it in the Cassette.

The machine feeds paper from the Cassette automatically by selecting plain paper (A4, B5, A5, or Letter size) in the print settings with the Operation Panel or the printer driver when printing.

Loading Photo Paper / Envelopes in the Rear Tray

When you use photo paper, load it in the Rear Tray.

The machine feeds paper from the Rear Tray automatically by selecting the media types other than plain paper, such as photo paper, in the print settings with the Operation Panel or the printer driver when printing.

When you use plain paper other than A4, B5, A5, or Letter size, also load it in the Rear Tray.

Note
There may be a little space between the Paper Guide (A) and the paper stack.

(4) Slide the Paper Guide (B) on the left to align completely with the side of the paper stack.

Note
Do not load sheets of paper higher than the Load Limit Mark (C).

Notes on Storing Paper

Take out only the necessary number of paper from the package, just before printing.

To avoid curling, when you do not print, put unused paper back into the package and keep it on a level surface. And also, store it avoiding heat, humidity, and direct sunlight.

Notes on Paper for Full-page Borderless Printing

Duplex printing is not available for full-page borderless printing.

You cannot use A5, B5, and Legal-sized paper, and envelopes for full-page borderless printing.

You can use plain paper for full-page borderless printing only when printing from a computer.

However, this may result in lower print quality. We recommend using plain paper for a trial print.
