TRAY 1 - 2

A maximum of 250 sheets of paper from size A6 to A4 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 8-1/2" x 14") can be loaded into tray 1.
A maximum of 500 sheets of paper from size A6 to A4 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 8-1/2" x 14") can be loaded into tray 2.

If you loaded paper of a different type or size from the paper previously loaded, be sure to check the settings in "Settings (administrator)". Incorrect setting affects automatic paper selection action. It may cause print failure, printing on paper of a wrong size or type or paper misfeeds.

Caution

Do not place heavy objects on the tray or press down on the tray.
To check the type and size of paper:
In the Web page, select [Status] → [Machine Identification] → [Paper Input Tray Status]→ [Paper Tray Settings].
To set the type and size of paper:

Removing the tray from the machine.

When the tray is pulled out, it stops in the middle and cannot be removed without removing it.
When the tray stops, gently lift it up and pull it out to remove it from the machine.
Tray 1
Tray 2
When using the tray, push the centre of the pressure plate down until it locks into place.

Move guide plates A and B in the tray to the maximum position.

The guide plates A and B are slidable. Squeeze the separator plate lever.
To load 8-1/2" x 14" size paper in tray 1 or tray 2, release the knob and stretch the tray to the point where it locks. After the tray is extended, move plate A to the front of the tray.

Fan the paper.

Fan the paper well before loading it. If the paper is not fanned, multiple sheets may feed at once and cause a misfeed.

Insert the paper into the tray.

Load the paper with the print side facing up. The stack must not be higher than the indicator line (Tray 1: maximum of 250 sheets, tray 2: maximum of 500 sheets).
Do not load the paper as shown below.
  • If a paper misfeed occurs, turn the paper over and/or around, and reload.
  • If the paper is curled, fix the curl before loading the paper.
  • Adjust the divider plate so that there is no gap between the paper and divider plate.
  • Do not add paper.

Adjust guide plates A and B with the paper.

Adjust to the paper size so that the paper will not be too loose or too tight.

Insert the tray into the machine.

Gently insert the tray into the machine, and when the tray stops in the middle, lower the entire tray down and insert it all the way to the back.
Forcefully inserting the tray may cause the paper to be skewed and misfeed.
Close the tray completely.

LOADING ENVELOPE IN TRAY

Load the paper with the copy and print side facing up. The diagram shows an example of printing on the front side.
Envelopes may not exceed the maximum number of sheets (20) in tray 1 and the maximum number (50) in tray 2, and must not exceed the indicated line.
Envelopes with triangular flaps cannot be used in tray.

Cautions when placing envelopes

  • Removing curling
  • Ensure these are flat, containing no air
  • Ensure the four folded edges are pressed flat (for items with flaps, three edges)
  • Align on a flat surface
    • Before printing envelopes in tray, print a trial print to check the results.
    • If the envelope is not folded tightly, is warped or bent, it may cause misfeeds.
