 LOADING PAPER
Follow the steps below to load paper into the paper tray or bypass tray.
You can load plain paper and other special paper. For detailed information of paper type,
see page 41.

LOADING PAPER INTO THE PAPER TRAY

1 Remove the output tray , and open the front lid of paper tray .

2 Adjust the guides and shown in the illustration to the width

of the paper.

3 Load the paper.

Load the paper print side down into the paper tray. Make sure to push the paper to
the right side and the rear side of the tray.

16
Downloaded from: http://www.usersmanualguide.com/
 LOADING PAPER INTO THE PAPER TRAY

Move the guides ( , ) to touch the edges of the paper.

4

When loading envelopes

Set the paper knob to the "Thick Paper ( )" setting.
Load the envelope face down with the flap to the right, and then adjust the paper
guides to the width of the envelope.

LOADING PAPER
Notes for loading envelopes
z Load envelopes in portrait direction into the paper tray.
z Do not use non-standard envelopes, envelops with clasps, or window envelopes.
z Be sure to select each of Com10, DL, C6, and Invitation A2 on the paper size
setting of the printer driver. (For detailed information on printer driver, refer to
the online manual.)
When loading index cards, postcards or birthday cards
Set the paper knob to the "Thick Paper ( )" setting.
Set guide up, and then fit guide and against the loaded cards.

Be sure to load in
portrait direction.

Most paper and envelopes will be fed correctly from the paper tray. However, if
paper or envelopes are particularly stiff or heavy, they should be fed one at a time
through the bypass tray. This will avoid wrinkling or misfeeding.

Close the front lid of paper tray by firmly pushing on its right
5 edge.

With some sizes of paper, guide may stick out of the paper tray. In this case,
print with the front lid of the paper tray open.

 LOADING PAPER INTO THE PAPER TRAY

Attach the output tray.

6
Place this projection
toward the printer.

Pull out the output tray extension to the proper position, and
7 then raise the paper stop guide.

z Be sure that paper is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges.
z Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.
z Fan the paper and tap it against a flat surface to ensure it is even before loading
into the printer.
z The paper tray can hold up to 150 sheets of 75g/m2 (20lbs.) plain paper. Be sure
to keep the total thickness of the loaded paper stack below 15mm.
z When loading postcard size paper into the paper tray, load it in portrait direction.
z When loading paper, ensure there is no space between the paper and the guide,
and check if the guide is not set too narrow causing the paper to bend. Loading
paper in these ways will result in document skew or a paper jam.
z The paper knob should always be set to the "Normal Paper ( )" setting except
while printing on thick paper or envelopes.
z When not using the printer for an extended period, remove all paper from the
paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in the printer for an extended
period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air, resulting in paper jams.
z When adding new paper to the paper tray, remove the old paper already
contained in the tray, place it on top of the new paper. Then load it all into the
paper tray. Placing new paper on top of the paper already contained in the tray
may result in feeding two sheets at one time.

18
Downloaded from: http://www.usersmanualguide.com/
 LOADING THE BYPASS TRAY WITH PAPER
If you wish to print on banner paper or another paper type not loaded into the main paper
tray, use the bypass feed. Only one sheet of paper (or up to 5 sheets of banner paper) can
be placed in the bypass tray at a time.

Open the bypass tray located on the rear of the printer.

1

Load the paper print side up.

2
Align the paper with the right side of the bypass tray and press the paper button.
The paper will be fed slightly into the printer.

LOADING PAPER
When loading an envelope
Open the bypass tray until it reaches position 2 (the tray has two stop positions),
set the paper knob to the "Thick Paper ( )" setting.
Load the envelope face up with the flap to the right, and position against the right
edge of the tray as shown bellow. Refer to "Notes for loading envelopes" on page 17.

Position 1

Position 2

When loading banner paper

Open the bypass tray until it reaches position 2, and set the paper along the right
side edge of the tray.

z Maximum 5 sheets of banner paper can be used.

z When printing onto banner paper, ensure to use an application software
supporting banner paper.
z The paper knob should always be set to the "Normal Paper ( )" setting except
while printing on thick paper or envelopes.
