    Loading Paper
    See the appropriate section below to load or change paper.
    For more information about suitable paper types, see Suitable and Unsuitable Paper Types on page 3-1. 
    Load Paper in the Paper Tray
    Follow the steps below to load paper into the paper tray.
    Load paper into the optional Tray Module the same way.
    To load A5 paper or to change to a paper size other than A5, you need to install or remove the A5 spacer. 
    To install or remove the A5 spacer, see Load A5 Paper in the Paper Tray/Changing the Paper Size from 
    A5 on page 3-10.
    1Gently pull out the paper tray until it stops.
    2Hold the paper tray with both hands, and then lift the 
    front slightly and pull it completely out of the printer.
    Place the tray on a flat surface.

    3Move the side paper guides to their outermost 
    positions.
    4Gently lift the end paper guide to move it, and insert 
    the pins at the bottom of the guide in the holes 
    (indicated by the   mark) corresponding to the 
    paper size that you want to load. Make sure that the 
    end guide is properly inserted into the appropriate 
    holes for the paper size. 
    If the end paper guide is not inserted properly into 
    the hole it could move slightly and prevent automatic 
    paper size detection. If this occurs, move the end 
    paper guide all the way to its outermost position 
    again, and then realign it with the appropriate paper 
    size mark.
    5Align the four corners of the paper stack and insert 
    the paper (print side up) under the tab.
    ■Do not use paper that is folded, creased, or 
    warped.
    ■Make sure that all the paper is under the tab.
    ■Do not overload the paper tray.

    6Align the side guides with the edges of the paper.
    Pushing the paper guides too hard against the 
    edges of the paper stack can cause a paper jam. 
    However, if the paper guides are too loose, the 
    paper may twist as it feeds through the printer.

    so could damage the paper tray or the inside of the 
    printer.
    There is an indicator next to the paper tray that tells 
    you how much paper remains in the tray. Use this 
    meter as a guide for refilling the paper tray.

    stopper on the top cover.
