General paper-loading advice

You can load paper into the printer in three different ways: from a roll, as a single sheet, or as a stack of single sheets from the multi-sheet tray. Only one of these methods can be used at a time, and switching from one to another is manual: it is not done automatically.

CAUTION: Make sure the printer wheels are locked (the brake lever is pressed down) to prevent the printer from moving.

CAUTION: All paper must be 280 mm (11 in) or wider. A4 and letter paper should not be loaded in landscape orientation.

TIP: For photo paper wear cotton gloves to avoid transferring oils onto the paper.

CAUTION: Keep the bin closed throughout the loading process.
