Solution
CAUTION
When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.
IMPORTANT
Do not load paper from the back of the machine with the cassette in place. Doing so may damage the paper feeding assembly inside the machine.
NOTE
a. When using the multi-purpose feeder, the paper in the multi-purpose feeder is given priority over the paper in the cassette.
b. The cassette holds up to approximately 250 sheets of 64 g/m2 paper.
Loading Paper in the Cassette 1. Fan the paper stack first, then tap the edges on a flat surface to even the stack.
2. Pull out the cassette completely.
3. While holding the lock release lever on the paper guide at the rear of the cassette, slide the paper guide to the mark indicating the desired paper size.
IMPORTANT
If the paper guide is not adjusted correctly for the size of the paper, the quality of your printouts may be adversely affected.
4. Load the paper stack in the cassette with the print side down.
When you load letter head paper, position the paper with the print side down (logo side) and load it so that the top of the paper feeds first in the cassette.
5. Pinch and slide the width slide guides to fit the paper stack.
Make sure the paper stack does not exceed the load limit mark (A) and it is loaded under the hooks (B) on the paper guides.
(A): Load limit mark
(B): Hooks
IMPORTANT
a. Do not load different size and type of paper at the same time.
b. Do not load extra paper when there is still paper left in the cassette. If you load extra paper while making copies, remove the loaded paper first. Then put it together with the extra paper and tap the edges. After that, reload it in the cassette.
6. Insert the cassette into the machine.
NOTE
If you do not completely insert the cassette into the machine, paper jams may occur.

The recommended envelopes are COM10, MONARCH, DL, and ISO-C5. Using other envelopes may affect the quality of the printout.
