Using the Control Panel

Copying

This section describes how to make copies using the control panel.

Loading Paper

1.Open the paper support, then slide out the extension, and then open the feeder guard.

2.Lower the output tray and slide out the extension.

3.Slide out the left edge guide so that the distance between the two edge guides is slightly wider than the paper you are going to load.

4.Load the paper with the printable side up so it is against the right edge guide, and slide it into the sheet feeder.

5.Slide the left edge guide so that it meets the left edge of the paper.

Note:

Always load paper short edge first into the sheet feeder.

Make sure that the paper stack is flush with or lower than the triangular load-limit mark on the edge guide.

Make sure that the paper is loaded under the tabs inside the edge guides.

Ensure that you set the adjust lever to the m position. If you print on paper other than

envelopes when the lever is set to the ^ position, print quality and speed will be compromised.

6.Set the feeder guard back.

Note:

The print result is affected by the kind of paper you use. For the best quality, use the appropriate paper.
