IMPORTANT
- Be sure to load paper in portrait orientation.
- When printing from the multi-purpose tray, make sure that any paper is not loaded in the manual feed tray. If any paper is loaded in the manual feed tray, feeding paper from the tray is prioritized.
- While printing from the multi-purpose tray, do not load paper in the manual feed tray. The paper loaded in the manual feed tray is fed. Therefore, multiple sheets of paper may be fed at a time, resulting in paper jams.
- If you want to refill paper when any paper still remains in the multi-purpose tray, remove the loaded paper once, align it together with the paper to be refilled by tapping the edges thoroughly, and then load the aligned paper in the multi-purpose tray.
- For the number of sheet for continuous printing, use the load limitations for each paper type as rough guides.
- Be sure to fan the transparencies or labels thoroughly before loading them. If they are not fanned enough, multiple sheets of paper may be fed at once, causing paper jams.
- When fanning or aligning the transparencies, try to hold the edges to avoid touching the printing surface.
- Take care not to mark or stain the printing surface of the transparencies with fingerprints, dust, or oil. This may result in poor print quality.
- Load the paper so that it is straight.
- If the rear edge of the paper stack is not properly aligned, this may result in misfeeds or paper jams.
- If the paper is curled or folded at corners, flatten it before loading it in the printer.
- 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 properly on a hard, flat surface.
- You cannot print on the reverse side (glued side) of envelopes.
- 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, load the paper with the printing side facing up as follows.
- To print envelopes, load the paper with the printing side facing up as follows.
Load the envelopes so that the flap is toward the left of the printer when viewed from the front.
- The following shows the paper capacity of the multi-purpose tray.
- Plain paper (Ex. 64 g/m): Approx. 250 sheets
): Approx. 250 sheets- Heavy paper (Ex. 128 g/m): Approx. 100 sheets
): Approx. 100 sheets- Transparency: Approx. 50 sheets

Make sure that there is sufficient space between the load limit guides and the paper stack. If there is no space, slightly reduce the amount of paper.
- Before loading envelopes, flatten curls as follows.
1. Place the envelopes on a flat surface, and then flatten them to release any remaining air.
2. Be sure that the edges are pressed tightly.
3. Press any stiff corners of the envelopes to flatten the curls.
