Loading Paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray Use the multi-purpose tray when you want to copy or print on a different paper size or type from the one loaded in the paper drawer. 1. Open and pull out the multi-purpose tray.  When loading long-size paper open the auxiliary tray. 2. Spread the paper guides a little wider than the actual paper width. 3. Gently insert the paper stack into the multi-purpose tray with the print side face up.
 When loading envelopes (1) Fold the envelope flap. (2) Loosen any stiff corners of the envelope and flatten curls as shown in the figure. (3) Gently insert the envelope into the multi-purpose tray with the print side face up. 4. Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size. IMPORTANT Be sure to align the paper guides with the width of the paper. - If the paper guides are too loose or too tight, this may result in misfeeds or paper jams.

Precautions When Loading Paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray CAUTION Be careful when handling paper. - Handle paper carefully not to cut your hands with the edges of the paper.
IMPORTANT Adjust the paper guides to the paper width without space. - If the paper guides are too loose or too tight, this may result in misfeeds or paper jams.
When using paper that has been poorly cut. - If you use paper that has been poorly cut, multiple sheets of paper may be fed at once. In this case, fan the paper thoroughly, and then align the edges of the stack properly on a hard, flat surface.
Do not exceed the load limit mark when loading paper. - Make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the loading limit marks. If the paper stack exceeds the loading limit marks, this may result in misfeeds.
