LOADING PAPER AND USABLE PAPER TYPES 3 - 17
3
All stacks of print media, plain paper,
transparencies, label sheets, and envelopes, need
to be fanned before loading so there is air between
the sheets.
Fanning the stack helps prevent paper jams.
■Fan all media before loading.
■If the paper is poorly cut and the edges are not
clean, remove the unsuitable sheets before
loading the paper stack.

Align the four corners of the paper stack and insert
it (print side down) until it lightly touches the feeding
slot.
■Do not use paper that is folded, creased, or
warped.
■Do not overload the paper tray.
■When printing on sheets longer than Legal
paper (356 mm (14 in.)), load the sheets one at
a time. Moisture can cause the sheets to stick
together, causing more than one sheet to go
through at one time, which can result in
malfunction or damage to the printer. When
feeding long paper, support each sheet with
your hands to ensure proper feeding.

When loading paper, carefully align the paper
guides with the edges of the paper so that there is a
small gap between the paper stack and the guides.
Pushing the paper guides too hard against the edge
of the paper stack can curl the paper and cause
paper jams.
Load the paper so that it is straight in the paper tray.
If the paper is not loaded correctly, the printing
position may shift and cause incorrect printing.
