Procedures for loading paper into paper cassette 1, which is supplied with the printer, and paper cassettes 2, 3, and 4, in the optional paper feeder unit, are the same. You can load different paper sizes into each cassette and switch between these paper cassettes for paper sources automatically.
Follow the procedure described below to load paper into the paper cassette.
IMPORTANT
•To avoid paper jams, note the following precautions.
-Do not use print media other than plain paper (64-105 g/m2), such as transparencies, label sheets or envelopes. For details about what kind of paper can be used, see “Paper Requirements,” on P. 9.
-Never use paper that has fins, or paper that is wrinkled or extremely curled.
-Refill the paper cassette with paper after the loaded paper has run out. Refilling the paper cassette with paper before paper has run out may lead to problems when feeding paper into the printer.
-You can load up to 500 sheets of plain paper (64 g/m2). Never stack paper in the paper
cassette higher than the limit guide. This may cause a paper feed failure.
-Do not touch the paper feed roller or black rubber part of the paper cassette. This may cause a paper feed failure.

2 Make sure that the indicator and HDD indicator are off before you remove the cassette in which you want to load paper.
Grasp the pocket on the front of the paper cassette and pull it out until it clicks. Then remove the paper cassette from the printer, supporting the sides of the cassette with both hands as illustrated below.
WARNING |
•When loading paper in the paper cassette, be sure to remove the paper cassette completely from the printer. If loading paper in the paper cassette while it is partially out of the printer, the paper cassette may be dropped or the printer may overbalance, this may cause personal injury.
IMPORTANT
•The paper cassette is heavy, make sure that you hold it securely during removal.
•Place the removed paper cassette on a sturdy and flat surface.
