), heavy paper (90 to 120 g/m) at sizes of A4, B5, A5, Legal, Letter, Executive, and Custom Size.When the paper cassette runs out of paper, <11 NO "size" PAPER> appears in the display, or the Paper Source indicator blinks indicating the status. Refill the cassette.
This printer comes with a paper cassette (Cassette 1) as standard. Cassette 2 is added by installing the optional paper feeder.
IMPORTANT
- Match the size of the paper loaded in the paper cassette and the paper size in the SETUP menu. If they do not match, the message <41 CHK PAPER SZE> appears, and the printing is not performed properly.
- Match the settings for CASSETTE1 SIZE and CASSETTE2 SIZE in the SETUP menu of the printer and those in the printer driver. If they do not match, the message <PC LOAD "size"> appears. In this case, the setting values for CASSETTE1 SIZE and CASSETTE2 SIZE are changed to those in the printer driver by pressing [Online], allowing you to continue printing.
- If you are printing from Cassette 2, make sure that Cassette 1 is set before printing. If you print from Cassette 2 when Cassette 1 is not set, this will cause paper jams.
- For more details on the usable paper, see [Usable Paper].
- For details on handling the paper cassette, see [Precautions for Handling the Multi-purpose Tray or Paper Cassette].
- Do not load paper other than plain paper (60 to 89 g/m) and heavy paper (90 to 120 g/m). This may result in paper jams or damage to the printer.
NOTE
- Load paper in Cassette 2 (Only when the optional paper feeder is installed) in the same manner as you load paper in Cassette 1.
- If you are printing from an operating system on which the printer driver cannot be used, previously specify the paper source to CASSETTE 1 or CASSETTE 2. [Selecting a Paper Source]
1. Pull out the paper cassette.
2. When changing the size of the paper to be loaded, change the positions of the paper guides.
The paper sizes indicated on the paper guides are abbreviated as follows.
| Paper Size | Paper Guides |
| Legal | LGL |
| Letter | LTR |
| Executive | EXEC |

How to slide the rear paper guide
(1) Hold the lock release lever.
(2) Slide the paper guide to the size mark for the paper to be loaded.
IMPORTANT
Do not use the "8.5 x 13" position.
3. Load the paper stack so that the rear edge is aligned with the paper guide.
4. Hold down the paper as shown in the figure, then set it under the hooks (A) on the paper guides.
Check the following points.
- Whether the paper stack does not exceed the load limit marks (B)
- Whether there is sufficient space between the hooks of the paper guides and the paper stack
5. Set the paper cassette in the printer.
Push the paper cassette into the printer firmly until the front side of the paper cassette is flush with the front surface of the printer.
This printer's paper cassette cannot automatically detect the paper size. Therefore, you need to register the size of the paper loaded in the paper cassette.
See [Specifying the Size of the Paper in the Paper Cassette] to register the paper size.
When printing from the printer driver, configure the printer driver next.
When printing from DOS, UNIX, or other operating system on which the printer driver cannot be used, specify the following settings in addition to CASSETTE1 SIZE and CASSETTE2 SIZE. [Specifying the Settings for STD PAPER SIZE and STD PAPER TYPE]
- STD PAPER SIZE = the size of the loaded paper
- STD PAPER TYPE = the type of the loaded paper
6. Specify the paper settings in the printer driver.
When printing from the printer driver, specify the following settings. For more details on using the printer driver, see Help of the printer driver.

Load paper when the printer status is in any of the following. When the Job indicator is blinking, the printer is printing. Do not pull out the paper cassette.
When the Job indicator is off

When the printer is OFF
IMPORTANT
- Be sure to turn the printer ON once when loading paper in the paper cassette for the first time after installing the paper feeder.
- Be sure not to open the covers or paper cassette during printing. The printer may stop, disabling printing.
- Be sure to load paper in portrait orientation.
- Be sure to check if the paper guide is at the position of the size of the loaded paper. If the paper guide is set at a wrong position, this may result in misfeeds.
- If you use paper that has been poorly cut, multiple sheets of paper may be fed at once. In this case, fan the paper thoroughly, and then align the edges of the stack on a hard, flat surface.
- The following shows the paper capacity of the paper cassette. Be sure that the paper stack does not exceed the load limit marks. If the paper stack exceeds the load limit marks, this may result in misfeeds.
- Plain paper Approx. 250 sheets (Ex. 80 g/m)
)- Heavy paper Approx. 200 sheets (Ex. 91 g/m)
)- When you are printing custom size paper from UFR II Printer Driver, you can load the paper either in portrait or landscape orientation. However, load the paper in landscape orientation when the setting for CASSETTE1 SIZE or CASSETTE2 SIZE is set to MIXED SIZES on printing custom size paper of its long edges 215.9 mm or less. When you are not printing from UFR II Printer Driver, load the paper in portrait orientation.
- Be sure to align the paper guides with the width of the paper. If the paper guides are too loose or too tight, this may result in misfeeds or paper jams.
NOTE
To print paper with letterheads or logos, see [Paper Loading Orientation] and load the paper in the proper orientation.
