9. Adding Paper and Toner
This chapter describes how to load paper into the paper tray and recommended paper sizes and types.
Loading Paper
Precautions for Loading Paper
• When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.
• Do not stack paper over the limit mark.
• To prevent multiple sheets from being fed at once, 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 page 134 "Recommended
Paper Sizes and Types".
• You might at times hear a rustling noise from paper moving through the machine. This noise does
not indicate a malfunction.
Loading Paper into Tray 1
• When paper loaded in the right side of tray 1 runs out, paper on the left is automatically shifted to
the right. Do not pull out tray 1 while the tray is moving paper; wait until sounds stop coming from
the tray.
• For the right stack, align the right edge of the paper with the right edge of the tray. For the left
stack, align the left edge of the paper to the left edge of the tray.
• (mainly Europe and Asia)
Tray 1 can hold A4 paper only. If you want to print on 8
