You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper into the
paper input tray. When paper is not loaded, the A900
emits warning beeps or tones. The LCD panel displays
the following message:
IMPORTANT: If you load any paper other than
8 ½" by 11"-sized paper, such as legal-sized paper,
into the paper input tray, you must change the default
paper size. Change the default paper size in the printer
software and on the A900 before printing on that
paper. See the Loading Different Sized Paper of the
"Common Procedures" chapter for instructions. The
software must be installed before the paper size may
be set in the printer software.
To load paper into the A900:
Insert the paper into the paper input tray. Make

certain the side you want to print on is facing
you. Orient the head of the paper so that the
head is facing down.
