This article will show you how to load in paper tray (cassette) 1. You can follow the same steps to load paper in paper tray 2.
Before you begin
In tray 1, you can load all paper sizes that are compatible with the machine; such as plain paper, photo paper, and envelopes.
In cassette 2, load A4, Letter, Legal, Officio, B-Officio, AM-Officio, Foolscap, or Legal paper.
The paper may jam if you cut plain paper into smaller sizes to print, such as 4" x 6" (10 x 15 cm) or 5" x 7" (13 x 18 cm).
A video of this procedure can be found here.
Load Paper
- Align the edges of the paper. If the paper is curled, flatten it.
Loading an uneven stack of paper may cause paper jams. A slight curl of Photo Paper should not be straightened, as it may crack the surface and reduce print quality.
- Pull out the cassette
- Slide the front (A) and right (B) paper guides out to make room for the paper.
- Always load paper in portrait orientation (C). If the paper is loaded in landscape orientation (D) it may cause paper jams.
- To load paper larger than A4 size, press the lock (G) and pull the cassette all the way out.
- When paper has a different top and bottom surface, load the paper with the whiter or glossy side face down. Align the stack of paper with the edge of the cassette as shown. Feeding problems may occur if the paper touches the protrusion (E).
- To load paper 5" x 7" (13 x 18 cm) or smaller, lift the tab (F) on the paper guide. Only cassette 1 can be used for paper of this size.
-
Align the front paper guide (A) with the stack and slide the right paper guide (B) to align the right and left guides with both edges of the stack.
Don't set the paper guides too firmly against the paper, which may cause feeding problems.
Don't load sheets of paper past the load limit mark (H).Keep the stack height below the paper guide tabs (I).
- Insert the cassette. Push the cassette into the machine until it stops.
- If the paper is A4 or Letter-sized or smaller, the cassette stops at the same position as the paper output tray. If the paper is larger than A4 or Letter size, the cassette will protrude past the paper output tray. Don't force the cassette into the machine any further, it may damage the machine or cassette.
-
Select the size and type, then tap Register.
- Pull out the output tray extension (J) and open the paper output support (K).
