Paper Sources to Load Paper

Page Sizes and Media Types compatible with the machine

Paper can be loaded into two sources, the upper cassette 1 (A) and lower cassette 2 (B).

In the upper cassette 1 (A), all sizes of paper compatible with this machine (plain paper, photo paper, envelopes, etc.) can be loaded.

In the lower cassette 2 (B), A4, Letter, and Legal-sized plain paper can be loaded.

You can load the same size of plain paper (A4, Letter, and Legal) in both cassettes, then set the machine to automatically switch the paper source and feed paper from the other cassette if paper in one cassette runs out.

Note

  • When printing, be sure to select the correct page size and media type. If the wrong page size and media type are selected, the machine may feed paper from the wrong paper source or may not print with the proper print quality.

    For details on loading paper in a cassette, see below.

Adjusting the cassette according to the Paper

The cassette can be adjusted to three lengths. Press down the lock (C) on the cassette to extend the cassette.

D: Lock position for stowing the cassette

When not using this machine for long period of time or moving it, set it to the position D. The cassette will fit into the width of the machine. Paper cannot be loaded while in this position.

E: Lock position for A4 or Letter-sized paper or smaller

For A4 or Letter-sized paper or smaller, set it to the position E. The cassette sticks out of the machine, but you can cover it by pulling out the paper output tray. Set the cassette to this position for normal use.

F: Lock position for paper larger than A4 or Letter size

For paper larger than A4 size, such as Legal size, set the cassette to the position F. When the cassette is set to this position and inserted into the machine, pulling out the paper output tray will not fully cover it. (The cassette sticks out of the machine.)

Loading Paper with the Print Side Facing Down

If the paper has a print side (front or back), such as photo paper, load it with the whiter side (or glossy side) facing down.
