Loading Paper

Precautions for Loading Paper

• When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.
• Do not stack paper over the limit mark.
• To prevent multiple sheets from being fed at once, fan the paper before loading it.
• If you load paper when only a few sheets of paper remain in the tray, multiple sheet feeding may
occur. Remove any remaining paper, stack them with the new sheets of paper, and then fan the
entire stack before loading it into the tray.
• Straighten curled or warped paper before loading.
• For details about paper sizes and types, see page 140 "Recommended Paper Sizes and Types".
• You might at times hear a rustling noise from paper moving through the machine. This noise does
not indicate a malfunction.

Loading Paper into Paper Trays

Every paper tray is loaded in the same way.
In the following example procedure, paper is loaded into Tray 1.
• If a paper tray is pushed vigorously when putting it back into place, the position of the tray's side
fences may slip out of place.
• Check the paper edges are aligned at the right side.
• When loading a low number of sheets, be sure not to squeeze the side fences in too tightly. If the
side fences are squeezed too tightly against the paper, the edges may crease or the paper may be
misfed.
