How to Put Paper in the Printer
Take a second to load the paper correctly in the IN drawer. Make sure all the
paper in the drawer is the same size and type, and that the paper adjusters
rest snugly against the paper. The printer will do the rest.
Let’s walk through the process step by step:
Slide out the paper-width and paper-length adjusters to make room for the
paper.
If you want, you can slide out the IN drawer to insert the paper more easily. You
can flip up the OUT tray if you want to see better.
Fan the edges of the paper stack to separate the pages. Then tap the stack on a
flat surface to even it up.
You can insert up to 3/8 in or 10 mm (about 100 sheets) at a time.

PAPER THAT MIGHT
NOT WORK
Highly textured stock
such as linen might not
print evenly; the ink
could bleed into these
papers.
Extremely smooth,
shiny, or coated
papers not specifically
designed for inkjet
printers could jam
the printer and might
actually repel ink.
Multi-part forms
(such as duplicate or
triplicate forms) could
wrinkle in the printer
or get stuck; the ink
is also more likely
to smear. In addition,
only the top page will
have print on it.
Paper in poor
condition—with tears,
dust, wrinkles, or
curled or bent edges,
or that doesn’t lie
flat—could jam
the printer.
