LOADING PAPER
Make sure that the machine is not copying or printing, and then follow these steps to load paper.
Loading the paper tray
1
Gently lift and pull out the paper tray
until it stops.
2
Adjust the plates in the tray to the
length and width of the paper.
• The plate A is a slide-type
guide. Grasp the locking knob
on the guide and slide the
guide to the indicator line of
the paper to be loaded.
• The plate B is an insert-type
guide. Remove it and then
insert it at the indicator line of
the paper to be loaded.
• When using 11" x 17" sized
paper store the plate B in the
slot at the left front of the
paper tray.
3
Push the pressure plate down.
Push the centre of the pressure
plate down until it locks into
place.
4
Load paper into the tray.
• Open the package of
the paper and load it
without fanning the
paper.
• Make sure the stack of
paper is straight before
loading it.
5
Gently push the paper tray into the
machine.
For how to load paper, refer to the steps below.
Plate B
Plate A
• Do not load paper higher than the line on
the tray (up to 250 sheets).
• Do not add paper to the loaded paper. It
may cause multiple feed of paper.
• A5 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") can be used in the
upper paper tray but cannot be used in
other trays (including trays in optional paper
feeding unit).
• If you loaded a different size of paper than
was loaded previously in the tray, go to
"CHANGING THE PAPER SIZE SETTING
OF A TRAY" (p.26).
• When misfeed occurs, rotate the paper 180
degrees and reload it.
• Straighten curled paper before using it.
