Loading Paper
For details on the paper that you can load, "Usable Paper."
Before loading paper, see "Attention (Paper Loading)."
1
Remove the tray cover.
2
Slide the paper guides a little wider and longer than the actual paper size.
You can slide both sides of the paper guides by holding the lock release lever (A).
3
Gently load paper with the printing side facing up until it touches the back of the tray.
For paper size other than A5 paper size
Be sure to load paper in portrait orientation.
For A5 paper size
Load paper in landscape orientation (when printing preferences are the default values).
You can also load paper in portrait orientation by activating [Feed A5 from Short Edge] in the [Paper Source] sheet in the printer driver when printing.
(Printing speed drops by loading paper in portrait orientation when printing on plain paper.)
IMPORTANT
When loading envelopes
See "Printing on Envelopes" and load the paper in the correct orientation.
NOTE
When loading paper with a letterhead or logo
See "Paper Loading Orientation" and load the paper in the correct orientation.
4
Align the paper guides with the loaded paper.
You can slide both sides of the paper guides by holding the lock release lever (A).
IMPORTANT
Be sure to align the paper guides with the paper.
If the paper guides are too loose or too tight, this may result in misfeeds or paper jams.
5
Make sure that the paper stack is loaded under the load limit guides (A) and the hooks (B) on the paper guides.
6
Install the tray cover.
For details on the basic printing procedure, see "Basic Printing Procedure."
If printing custom size paper, you need to register the custom paper size in the printer driver previously.
In cases such as where paper runs out during printing, the  (Paper) indicator (orange) blinks. Printing resumes by pressing the [  ] (Paper) key.
