the appropriate paper length slots (A4 or
Legal),and slide the guide towards the
back of the cassette until it locks in place.
5. Load the paper into the Paper Cassette.
Slide the paper width guide to the left
until it lightly touches the stack of paper
without bending the paper. The paper
must fit squarely,and firmly between the
Paper Width Guide,and the right side of
tray. If it does not, the paper may feed
into the printer incorrectly resulting in a
paper jam.
Caution: Make sure that the paper is set
under the metal Paper
Separation Clips, and that it
does not exceed the Maximum
Paper Capacity Mark. You can
load about 250 sheets (20 lb
weight). For paper
specification, see page 145.
6. Replace the Paper Cassette Cover to the
