8. Adding Paper and Toner
This chapter describes how to load paper into the paper tray and recommended paper sizes and types.
Loading Paper
• When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.
• If one or more paper feed trays are installed, do not pull out more than one tray at a time
when you are changing or replenishing paper or resolving paper jams. Pressing down
forcefully on the machine's upper surfaces can result in malfunctions and/or user injury.
• Do not stack paper over the limit mark.
• If multiple sheets are fed at one time, fan the paper before loading it.
• If you load paper when only a few sheets of paper remain in the tray, multiple sheet feeding may
occur. Remove any remaining paper, stack them with the new sheets of paper, and then fan the
entire stack before loading it into the tray.
• Straighten curled or warped paper before loading.
• For details about the paper sizes and types that can be used, see "Recommended Paper",
Specifications.
• You might at times hear a rustling noise from paper moving through the machine. This noise does
not indicate a malfunction.
Loading Paper into Paper Trays
Every paper tray is loaded in the same way.
In the following example procedure, paper is loaded into Tray 1.
• If a paper tray is pushed vigorously when putting it back into place, the position of the tray's side
fences and end fence may slip out of place.
• When loading a low number of sheets, be sure not to squeeze the side fences and end fence in too
tightly. If the side fences are squeezed too tightly against the paper, the edges may crease or the
paper may misfeed.
