Printing on Plain Paper / Heavy Paper / Label / 
Transparency
This section describes the procedure for printing on plain paper, heavy paper, 
labels, and transparencies.
For instructions on printing on custom paper, see Printing on Custom Paper, on p. 
2-40.
Loading Paper
The paper sources in which you can load paper are the cassette and the manual 
feed slot. For continuous print, load paper in the cassette.
For printing on one sheet of paper that differs in size or type from paper in the 
cassette, set the paper in the manual feed slot.
IMPORTANT
•Before printing on paper that is fed from the cassette, make sure that paper is not set in 
the manual feed slot. If paper is set in the manual feed slot, the paper in the manual feed 
slot is fed first.
•Do not set paper in the manual feed slot while printing is being made with paper fed from 
the cassette. If you do so, the paper in the manual feed slot is fed, resulting in 
double-feeds or paper jams.
•Do not load jagged-edged, creased, or extremely curled paper. It may result in paper 
jams or printer malfunction.
•For more details on usable paper, see Usable Paper, on p. 2-2.
•If LGL is indicated in the cassette, you can load the legal-size paper in the cassette. 
Whether LGL is indicated in the cassette or not depends on the area where you 
purchased this printer.
•This printer can print on A4- and Letter-size transparencies.
•This printer can print on A4- and Letter-size labels.
•Do not use the following types of labels. Using inappropriate labels may result in paper 
jams that are difficult to clear or may result in damaging the printer.
-Peeled labels or partly used labels
-Coated labels that are easily peeled off from the backing sheet
-Labels with adhesive protruded
•A label that can be loaded in the cassette is a standard type (label standard card) only. 
Set any type of labels other than the standard type (label standard card) in the manual 
feed slot.
•The heavy paper that you can load in the cassette is the one in weight of 128 g/m2 or 
less. Set heavy paper in weight of 129 g/m2 or over in the manual feed slot.

Loading Paper in the Cassette
Follow the procedure below to load paper in the cassette.
Load the paper lengthways in the cassette.
IMPORTANT
•Do not take the cassette out of the printer while printing. It may result in paper jams or 
printer malfunction.
•If you refill the cassette when a few sheets of paper still remain, take out the loaded 
paper once, then align the paper to be refilled and taken out paper together.
•Do not touch the black rubber pad in the cassette. If you touch it, this may result in 
misfeeds.
•Do not lift the cassette by holding only the rear part of the cassette. If you do so, the rear 
part of the cassette may come off.

LGL indicated in the cassette shows legal size, LTR shows letter size, and 
EXEC shows executive size.
3While holding the lock release lever on the paper guide on 
either side of the cassette, slide the paper guide to the mark 
indicating the desired paper size.
The paper guides on the sides of the cassette move together.
When you load the legal-size paper in the cassette on which LGL is indicated, 
slide the paper guide on either side of the cassette to LTR.
NOTE
LTR indicated in the cassette shows letter size, and EXEC shows executive 
size.
4Before loading transparencies or labels, fan them in small 
portions and align the edges.

CAUTION
Be careful not to cut your hands with the edges of the transparencies or 
labels.
IMPORTANT
•Be sure to fan the transparencies or labels thoroughly before loading them. If they 
are not fanned enough, this may result in double-feeds or 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.
•A label that can be loaded in the cassette is a standard type (label standard card) 
only. Set any type of labels other than the standard type (label standard card) in the 
manual feed slot.
5Load the paper stack so that the rear edges touch the paper 
guide.
CAUTION
When loading paper, be careful not to cut your hands with the edges of the 
paper.
IMPORTANT
•Make sure that the paper guide is at the appropriate position of paper size. If the 
paper guide is not adjusted properly, this may result in misfeeds.

•Double-feeding may occur frequently if the cutting edges of the paper stack are not 
smooth. In this case, thoroughly fan the paper stack, and then align the edges of 
the paper stack on a flat surface.
NOTE
To print on letterhead paper or paper printed with a logo, load the paper so that the 
printing surface faces down and the top edge comes toward the front of the 
cassette.

6Press down the paper stack as shown in the figure, then make 
sure that it does not exceed the load limit mark and that it is 
loaded under the hooks on the paper guides.
Make sure that there is sufficient space between the hooks and paper stack. 
Take out some paper when there is no space.
IMPORTANT
The following shows the cassette capacity. Be sure that the paper stack does not 
exceed the load limit mark of the paper guide. If the paper stack exceeds the load 
limit mark, this may result in misfeeds.
-Plain paper Approx. 250 sheets (64 g/m

7Set the cassette in the printer.
Push the cassette into the printer firmly until the front surface of the cassette is 
flush with that of the printer.
Setting Paper in the Manual Feed Slot
Follow the procedure below to set paper in the manual feed slot.
When loading paper in the manual feed slot, be sure to load it in portrait orientation.
IMPORTANT
•In the manual feed slot, you can set only one sheet of paper at a time.
•You cannot specify multiple print copies or multiple pages when you use the manual feed 
slot. If you specify multiple print copies or multiple pages using the manual feed slot, the 
second sheet thereafter is fed from the cassette regardless of paper size or type.
•Do not touch the paper in the manual feed slot or pull it out while printing. This may result 
in a faulty operation.
•If heavy paper in weight of 129 g/m2 or over is printed on, the print quality may 
deteriorate.

2While holding paper with your hands as shown in the figure, 
slowly insert paper with the printing surface face up until it 
hits on the back.
After paper is set, it is fed slightly.
CAUTION
When setting paper, be careful not to cut your hands with the edges of the 
paper.
IMPORTANT
•Set the paper straight.
•If the paper is curled or folded at corners, flatten it before setting.
•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.
