Loading Paper into Paper Trays

Every paper tray is loaded in the same way.

In the following example procedure, paper is loaded into Tray 1.

Important

  • Check the paper edges are aligned at the right side.

  • If a paper tray is pushed vigorously when putting it back into place, the position of the tray's side fences may slip out of place.

  • When loading a low number of sheets, be sure not to squeeze the side fences in too tightly. If the side fences are squeezed too tightly against the paper, the edges may crease, thin paper may wrinkle, or the paper may misfeed.

1Check that paper in the paper tray is not being used, and then pull the tray carefully out until it stops.

Note

  • Various sizes of paper can be loaded in the paper trays by adjusting the positions of side fences and end fence. For details, see Changing the Paper Size in Paper Trays.

  • You can load envelopes in Trays 1–4. When loading envelopes, place them in the correct orientation. For details, see Envelopes.
