Loading Paper
The following explains the procedure for loading paper in the cassette and the MP tray.
Loading Paper into the Cassette
The cassettes can hold plain paper, recycled paper or color paper.
Cassette 1 to 5 hold up to 500 sheets of plain paper (80 g/m
²).
For details of the supported paper sizes, refer to Selecting the Right Paper on page A-13. For the paper type setting, refer 
to Media Type (Setting the cassette paper type) on page 4-37.
1 Fan the media (paper/transparencies), then tap it on a level surface 
to avoid media jams or skewed printing.
2 Pull out the cassette from the machine.
IMPORTANT  You should not use inkjet printer paper or any paper with a special surface coating. (Such papers may 
cause paper jams or other faults.)
The cassettes can hold paper with weight between 60 - 120 g/m².
Do not load thick paper that is heavier than 120 g/m² in the cassettes. Use the multi purpose tray for paper that is 
heavier than 120 g/m².
Place the cassette in a stable place such as on a desk when loading paper.
Note  A6 can only be used in Cassette 1 of the ECOSYS P3050dn/ECOSYS P3055dn/ECOSYS P3060dn.
B6 and Postcard cannot be used in Cassette 1 of the ECOSYS P3045dn.
IMPORTANT  When pulling out the cassette from the machine, 
ensure that it is supported and does not fall out.
