Load and Print using the Paper Tray

  • If the Check Size setting is set to On and you pull the paper tray out of the machine, a message appears on the LCD asking if you want to change the paper size. Change the paper size and paper type settings if needed, following the on-screen instructions.

  • When you load a different paper size in the tray, you must change the paper size setting in the machine or on your computer at the same time.
  1. Pull the paper tray completely out of the machine.
  2. Press and slide the paper guides to fit the paper.
    Press the green release levers to slide the paper guides.

    For Legal or Folio size paper, press the release button (1) in the bottom of the paper tray and then pull out the back of the paper tray. (Legal and Folio size paper are not available in some regions.)

  3. Fan the stack of paper well.
  4. Load paper with the printing surface face down in the paper tray.
    DO NOT load different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time. Doing this may cause the paper to jam or misfeed.
  5. Make sure the paper is below the maximum paper mark ( ).
    Overfilling the paper tray will cause paper jams.
  6. Slowly push the paper tray completely into the machine.
  7. Lift the support flap to prevent paper from sliding off the output tray.
  8. Send your print job to the machine.
    Change your print preferences in the Print dialog box before sending the print job from your computer.
