2.3. Loading Paper
2.3.1. Loading into the Automatic Feeder Tray
1. Slide out the automatic feeder tray from the printer.
2. Slide the clip of extended tray of auto feed tray, paper length deflector and paper width
deflector to the slot suitable for paper size, in order to match paper length and width.
Note
：
• Do not overly squeeze the "paper length guide" and "paper width guide",
otherwise it could lead to deformation of paper.
3. Before loading paper, please unfold the stacked paper to avoid a paper jam or feed error,
and then load the paper into the tray print-side down. The automatic feeder tray can be
loaded up to 250 pages, 21 lb. bond paper.
13
4. Raise the output tray to avoid the printed paper from slipping and falling, or immediately
remove the printed document after the printing is complete.
Note
：
• If more than 250 pages (21 lb. bond) are put inside the auto feed tray at one
time, may cause paper jam or paper feed failure.
• If carrying out single-sided printing, please make sure that the side to be printed
(the blank side) is face down.
2.3.2. Install manual feed tray
1. Raise the output tray to avoid the printed paper from slipping and falling, or immediately remove
the printed document after the printing is complete.
2. Open manual feed tray.
14
3. Slide the paper deflector of manual feed tray to match the two sides of paper. Do not use
excessive force; otherwise, paper will be made jammed or skewed.
4. Put a flat printing medium into the manual feed tray with both hands.
Note
：
• The printer will enter manual feed mode automatically when you put papers
inside the manual feed tray.
• Please put one printing medium inside the manual feed tray each
time and put in another piece after finishing printing.
• Put the printing medium inside the manual feed tray with the printing side
up; the top of paper should be put inside first.
5. When the
page is printed and in the output tray,
put the second piece inside according to
the above steps to continue printing. Slow action will lead to the prompt of paper out or
paper failure of manual feed tray. After paper is put inside, printing will be resumed
automatically; too quick action may make paper caught up in the printer, which will easily
result in paper jam.
Note
：
• After printing, please take out printed papers from printer immediately.
Stacked papers or envelops will lead to paper jam or wrapped paper.
