  2. Raise the control panel, then open the feeder guard.
     
     
  3. Slide the edge guide to the right.
     
     
  4. Load paper, glossy or printable side up and short edge first, against the left side of the paper feed slot.

  6. Do one of the following to select the size and type of paper you just loaded on the product LCD screen:

  Always follow these paper loading guidelines:
  • Load only the recommended number of sheets.
  • Load paper short edge first, no matter which way your document faces.
  • Do not load paper above the arrow mark inside the edge guide.
  • Do not load envelopes that are curled, folded, or too thin, or that have plastic windows.
  • Check the paper package for any additional loading instructions.
