Push the center of the

Fan the paper.
If the paper is not fanned,
double-feeds or misfeeds
may occur.

Load paper into the tray.

Gently push the paper tray into the
machine.
• Do not load paper higher than the line on
the tray (up to 250 sheets).
• Make sure that the paper fits under the tab
on the right side of the tray.
• Make sure the stack of paper is straight
before loading it. When adding paper, take
the remaining paper out and combine it into
a single stack with the new paper.

If you loaded a different size of paper than
was loaded previously in the tray, go to
