							Paper Handling
3.3
Loading Paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure 
trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper in the tray while 
a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See 
?$paratext>? on page 3.1 for acceptable paper size and 
capacity for the tray. 
Using the Tray
The tray holds 150 sheets of paper.
Load a stack of paper into the tray and print. For details about 
loading paper in the tray, see ?$paratext>? on page 2.3. 
To use the special material like envelope, label and card, 
remove the stack of plain paper and load one sheet of special 
material into the tray. 
Using the Manual Tray
When you print a document using your PC and want to check 
the print quality after each page is printed, load the paper in 
the manual tray and select 
Manual Feed for Source from the 
software application.
1Load the print material in the tray with the print side up. 
Push the print material firmly into the manual tray.
2Adjust the paper guide against the print material without 
bending the material.
3Select Manual Feed for Source from the software 
application, and then select the correct paper size and 
type. For details, see 
Software User’s Guide.
4Operate printing.
5The display shows “Add Paper & Press Start” then press 
Start on the machine to start feeding.
Printing is started. 
6If you have multiple pages to be printed, the display shows 
“Add Paper & Press Start” again. Load the next sheet and 
press 
Start. 
Repeat this step for every page to be printed. 
NOTES: 
• When you print more than 20 envelopes in succession, print 
speed may be reduced.
• If you experience jams with card stock feeding, turn the 
paper around and try again.
• Manually loading paper and pressing Start to start feeding is 
only available with PC printing.
• Because the Manual Feed mode does not print jobs 
automatically and continuously, incoming faxes are stored in 
memory instead of printing immediately. (Only for SCX-
4521F/ SCX-4521FR)
• When you press 
Stop/Clear in the Manual Feed mode, the print job in progress is canceled. 
Verifying an Output Location
The machine has a paper output location which holds 50 sheets 
of paper. The output tray collects printed paper face down, in 
the order in which the sheets were printed.
NOTE: Pull the paper output extension not to drop the printed 
paper.

Loading Paper for Copying
The instructions for loading print materials are the same 
whether you are printing, faxing, or copying. For further details, 
see ?$paratext>? on page 2.3 for loading paper in the tray.
NOTE: For copying, you can only use Letter-, A4-, Legal-, 
Folio-, Executive-, B5-, A5-, or A6-sized print materials.
Preparing a Document
You can use the document glass or the Automatic Document 
Feeder (ADF) to load an original document for copying, 
scanning, and sending a fax. Using the ADF, you can load up to 
30 documents (20 lb, 75 g/m
2 bond) for one job. You can, of 
course, place only one sheet at a time on the document glass.
When you use the ADF:
• Do not load documents smaller than 5.6 x 5.8 in. (142 x 
148 mm) or larger than 8.5 x 14 in. (216 x 356 mm).
• Do not attempt to feed the following types of documents:
- carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper
- coated paper
- onion skin or thin paper
- wrinkled or creased paper
- curled or rolled paper
- torn paper
• Remove all staples and paper clips before loading 
documents.
• Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper 
is completely dry before loading documents.
• Do not load documents that include different sizes or 
weights of paper.
• Do not load booklet, pamphlet, transparencies, or 
documents having other unusual characteristics.

the ADF, the machine gives it priority over the document on 
the document glass.

copy size, darkness, and original type, by using the control 
panel buttons. See ?$paratext>? on page 4.4.

Poster, Auto Fit, Clone, and ID Card copying.
6Press Start to begin copying. 
The display shows the copy processing.
NOTES:

Stop/Clear, and the copying will stop.
• Dust on the document glass may cause black spots on the 
printout. Always keep it clean.
• To get the best scan quality, especially for colored or gray-
scaled images, use the document glass.
Making Copies from the 
Automatic Document Feeder
1Load the document face up into the ADF (Automatic 
Document Feeder). You can insert up to 30 sheets at a 
time. Make sure that the bottom of the document stack

application: Use the 
Scan-to button on the control panel 
to initiate scanning. Assign the TWAIN-compliant 
software, such as Adobe Photo Deluxe or Adobe 
Photoshop, to the machine by selecting it from a list of 
available applications via the 
Scan-to button. To compose 
the list of available applications, you must configure it in 
the scan settings tab of the Printer Settings Utility 
program. For details, see 
Software User’s Guide.
• From TWAIN-compliant software: You can use other 
software including Adobe PhotoDeluxe and Adobe 
Photoshop. For details, see 
Software User’s Guide.
• From the Windows Images Acquisition (WIA) driver: Your 
machine also supports the WIA driver for scanning 
images. For details, see 
Software User’s Guide.
NOTES:
•To scan with your machine, you must install the software. 
For details, see the installing printer software in windows 
section of 
Software User’s Guide to install the scan 
software.
• Scanning is done through the same LPT or USB port 
currently assigned for your printer port. 
Scanning From the Control 
Panel to an Application
