Check1

Make sure paper is loaded.

Loading Paper

Check2

When loading paper, consider the following.

• When loading two or more sheets of paper, align the edges of the sheets before loading the paper.

• When loading two or more sheets of paper, make sure the paper stack does not exceed the paper load limit.

However, paper may not feed correctly at the maximum capacity, depending on the type of paper or environmental conditions (very high or low temperature and humidity). In such cases, reduce the amount of paper you load at a time to less than half of the paper load limit.

• Always load the paper in portrait orientation, regardless of the printing orientation.

• When you load the paper on the rear tray, place the print side facing UP and align the right and left paper guides with the paper stack.

Loading Paper

• In the cassette, be sure to load only plain paper.

• When you load the paper on the cassette, place the print side facing DOWN and align the right/left/front paper guides with the paper stack.

Once you have prepared the envelopes, load them in portrait orientation. If the envelopes are placed in landscape orientation, they will not feed properly.
