Loading your paper
Paper loading tips:
●
You can print photos and documents on a wide variety of paper sizes, from 3 x 5
inches (76 x 127 mm) up to 8.5 x 14 inches (216 x 356 mm), as well as on 8.5
inch-wide (216 mm) banner paper.
● Before loading paper, slide out the paper-width and length guides to make room
for the paper. After loading paper, adjust the guides to fit close to the edges of the
paper without bending the paper.
● Load only one type and size of paper at a time. Do not mix paper types or sizes in
the Main input tray or the Photo tray.
● After loading paper, extend the Out tray extension to hold your printed pages.
This prevents printed pages from dropping off of the Out tray.
Use the directions in the following table to load the most commonly used paper sizes
into the printer.
