paper resting against the right side of the paper tray. Make sure the sheets 
lie flat on the bottom of the tray. Don’t load paper above the arrow mark 
inside the edge guide.
Note:
❏Always load the paper’s short edge first.
❏When you load sheets of paper, make sure to put the edges of the paper 
against the right inner corner of the paper tray; otherwise, printing may 
become misaligned.

top cover. If the top cover is opened while printing is in progress, the printer 
stops printing, and then restarts printing when the top cover is closed. 
Stopping and restarting printing may reduce the print quality.
