Paper loading tips

Load a stack of paper (not just one page). All of the paper in the stack should be in the same size and
type to avoid a paper jam.
●
Load the paper with side to be printed on facing up.
●
Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat, and the edges are not bent or torn.
●
Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width
guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
