Note: When loading A6‑size paper, make sure the multipurpose feeder extender rests lightly against the edge of the paper so that the last few sheets of paper remain in place.

•Load letterhead faceup with the top edge entering the printer first. For two‑sided (duplex) printing, load letterhead facedown with the bottom edge entering the printer first.
