Loading Paper

This chapter describes how to load paper, envelopes, thick paper, and transparencies in the printer. To ensure the best performance of your printer, you want to select the best paper and load it correctly.

You can stack paper in the sheet feeder to load it automatically, or you can manually feed one sheet at a time. The path that the paper travels through the printer is the same for automatic and manual feeding.

Automatically Feeding Paper

Your printer produces letter-quality print on most plain bond papers, including cotton bond papers and photocopying papers. This printer does not require special ink-jet papers. However, the print quality varies with different paper types.

Purchase a small amount of paper and test it to see if it meets your printing requirements before committing to a specific paper type.

NOTE: Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

You can automatically feed single sheets of plain papers:

Size:Letter 8 1/2 x 11 inches

Legal 8 1//2 x 14 inches

Thickness: Less than 0.008 inches (0.2 mm)

Weight: 17 to 24 lbs (64 to 90 g/m²)

You can stack up to 100 sheets of plain paper (20 lb or 75 g/m²) in the sheet feeder.

When you are ready to load plain paper, follow the steps in this section.

1.Extend the paper rest and the paper exit support.
