Loading Paper
To load a letter-size stack of paper into the printer, fan the
paper, open the paper cover, adjust the paper guides, and insert
the paper into the paper bin.
After you close the paper cover, make sure the paper stopper
on top of the paper cover is inserted in the slot closest to the
center of the printer. Make sure that the paper path selector on
the top left corner of the printer is set to the face-down position.
For an illustrated explanation of this procedure, see your Setup
and Maintenance guide.
Loading single sheets
If you want to print on paper other than letter size, you need to
load the paper one sheet at a time through the paper bin feed
slot. The printer accommodates hand-fed paper ranging in size
from 86 x 140 mm (3.4 x 5.5 inches) to 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14
inches), envelopes, transparencies, labels, and heavy paper
(over 90 g/m
2
or 24 lb).
