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 printers 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 (p. 3-35) to register the 
paper size.
Specifying the Size of the Paper in the Paper Cassette
This printers paper cassette cannot automatically detect the paper size. Therefore, 
when you loaded paper in the paper cassette, you need to specify the size of the 
paper loaded in the paper cassette using the control panel. When using standard 
size paper, specify its size. When loading custom size paper, specify CUSTOM 
SIZE or CUSTOM SIZER. The paper size setting for the paper cassette is set to 
A4 by default.
Specify the paper size setting for the paper cassette using the following procedure.
IMPORTANT
•Match the paper size specified in the SETUP menu of the printer and that specified in the 
printer driver. If they do not match, the message  appears. In this 
case, the settings for CASSETTE1 SIZE and CASSETTE2 SIZE are changed to those in 
the printer driver by pressing [Online], allowing you to continue printing.
•When custom size paper is loaded, specify the settings for CASSETTE1 SIZE and/or 
CASSETTE2 SIZE as follows.
-When the paper is loaded in landscape orientation: CUSTOM SIZE
-W hen the paper is loaded in portrait orientation: CUSTOM SIZER

•When you change the paper loaded in the paper cassette frequently, it is convenient if 
you set CASSETTE1 SIZE and/or CASSETTE2 SIZE to MIXED SIZES. When 
CASSETTE1 SIZE and/or CASSETTE2 SIZE is set to MIXED SIZES, you do not need to 
specify the settings for CASSETTE1 SIZE and/or CASSETTE2 SIZE each time the 
different size paper is loaded. However, observe the following when specifying MIXED 
SIZES.
- Make sure that the size of the paper loaded in the paper cassette matches the paper 
size specified in the printer driver before printing. If they do not match the printer may 
stop printing, displaying the message , or a paper jam may 
occur. Be sure to check if the paper size specified in the printer driver matches the size 
of the paper loaded in the paper cassette before using the printer. However, if SPECIAL 
MODE J is set to ON, the printer prints without checking the paper size even when the 
paper size specified in the printer driver and the size of the paper loaded in the paper 
cassette do not match. For more details, see SPECIAL MODE J, on p. 5-36.
-W hen printing from UFR II Printer Driver, you can load paper either in portrait or 
landscape orientation. However, when printing custom size paper of its long edges 
215.9 mm or less, load the paper in landscape orientation. When you are not using 
UFR II Printer Driver, load the paper in portrait orientation.

5Before loading transparencies or labels, fan them in small 
batches and align the edges.
CAUTION
When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands with the edges of the 
paper.
IMPORTANT
•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.
6Gently load the stack of paper with the printing side facing up 
until it touches the back of the tray.
Be sure that the paper stack is loaded under the paper limit guide (A).
Thoroughly fan in small batchesTap the edges on a flat 
surface a few times
