Loading paper and original documents

Loading paper

1Make sure:

•You use paper designed for inkjet printers.

•If you are using photo, glossy, or heavyweight matte paper, you load it with the glossy or printable side facing you. (If you are not sure which side is the printable side, see the instructions that came with the paper.)

•The paper is not used or damaged.

•If you are using specialty paper, you follow the instructions that came with it.

•You do not force paper into the printer.

2Before loading paper the first time, slide the paper guides out toward the edges of the paper support. You can load up to:

•100 sheets of plain paper

•25 sheets of heavyweight matte paper

•25 sheets of photo paper

•25 sheets of glossy paper

Note: Photos require more drying time. Remove each photo as it exits, and allow it to dry to avoid ink smudging.

3Load the paper vertically in the center of the paper support, and adjust the paper guides to rest against the edges of the paper.

Note: To avoid paper jams, make sure the paper does not buckle when you adjust the paper guides.

Using the automatic paper type sensor

The printer is equipped with an automatic paper type sensing device. The Paper Type Sensor automatically detects the type of paper that has been loaded into the printer and adjusts the settings for you. For example, if you want to print a photo, load photo paper into the printer. The printer detects the type of paper and automatically adjusts the settings to give you optimum photo-printing results.

Loading envelopes

You can load up to 10 envelopes at a time.

Warning: Do not use envelopes that have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.

1Load envelopes in the center of the paper support with the stamp location in the upper left corner.

2Make sure:

•The print side of the envelopes faces you.

•The envelopes are designed for use with inkjet printers.
