Chapter 3 - Tips on Using Paper
Inserting Paper
1. Use both hands to hold the paper straight while you insert it into the printer’s paper
input slot. Make sure the bottom edge of the paper is parallel to the feed roller.
2. Press the paper gently into the printer’s input slot until the roller pulls it into the
starting position, then let go. See Figure 14.
Figure 14. Inserting paper
If the paper is skewed after the printer pulls it into the starting position, you can correct
the situation as follows:
• If the printer does not start to print immediately, open the release cover as far back
as it will go. See Figures 15 and 16, pages 43 and 44. Pull the paper out, close the
cover, and reinsert paper.
• If the printer does start to print, wait for the page to be printed and then reprint that
page if necessary.
NOTE: If you insert paper into the printer before you start the print job, you will
have time to adjust the paper if it is skewed after the printer pulls it into the
starting position.
