Checking the printer

Before printing your first page, you need to make sure that the
printer is working correctly by loading paper, then printing a
nozzle check page and, if necessary, cleaning the print head. Refer
to the appropriate section below.
Loading paper
Follow the steps below to load plain paper in the printer.
1. Lower the output tray and slide out the extention. Next, slide
the left edge guide so that the distance between the edge
guides is slightly wider than the width of your paper.
2. Fan a stack of paper, then tap it on a flat surface to even the
edges.
3. Load the stack of paper in
the sheet feeder with the
printable side up and the
right edge of the paper
resting against the right
edge guide. Then, slide the
left edge guide against the
left edge of the paper.
Note:
❏ Always load paper into the sheet feeder short edge first.
❏ Make sure that the paper stack fits under the arrow mark inside
the edge guide.
