Paper loading tips

Load a stack of paper (not just one page). All of the paper in the stack should be the same size and type to avoid a paper
jam.
•
Load paper with side to be printed on facing up.
•
Ensure that paper loaded in the paper tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.
•
Adjust the paper-width guides in the paper tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guide does not
bend the paper in the paper tray.
