3. Squeeze the multi-purpose tray paper width guides and adjust them to
the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent,
which will result in a paper jam or skew.

software application. See Software section for printing from your
computer.
5. After printing, close the multi-purpose tray.
ADJUSTING THE OUTPUT SUPPORT
The printed pages stack on the output tray, and the output support will help
the printed pages to align. For the output support to correctly align the
pages, you need to pull it out appropriately depending on the paper size.
For Letter-sized paper
Pull out the output support to the location indicated LTR as shown, and
unfold the extension.
For A4- or Legal-sized paper
Pull out the output support to the location indicated A4, LGL as shown, and
unfold the extension.
Depending on the media type you are using, keep the following
loading guidelines:
• Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the
top left side.
• Labels: Print side up and top short edge entering the printer
first.
• Preprinted paper: Design side up with the top edge toward the
printer.
• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the
printer first.
• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down with
an uncurled edge toward the printer.
The settings made from the printer driver override the settings on
the control panel.

• If the output support is incorrectly adjusted, printed pages may be
mis-aligned or fall.
• If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the output tray
may become hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and
especially keep out of children’s reach.
