How to load paper in the Cassette

Important:

• Ensure that the paper is loadable in the Cassette. Legal-sized and 2.13" x 3.39" / 54.0 x 86.0 mm size paper, and Photo Stickers PS-101 are not loadable in the Cassette.
• 
  
  
• Cutting plain paper to 4" x 6" / 101.6 x 152.4 mm or 5" x 7" / 127.0 x 177.8 mm size for a trial printing can cause paper jams.
  
• 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. Prepare to load paper.

3. Adjust the size of the Cassette.

When loading A5- or larger sized paper (nonstandard-size paper: 203 mm / 8 inches or more in length), extend the Cassette

When loading 5" x 7"- or smaller sized paper (nonstandard-size paper: less than 203 mm / 8 inches in length), do not extend the Cassette.
