the printer and that the print is not skewed. Tray 2 has
side and rear media guides. When loading media, adjust
the media guides to match the length and width of the
media that you are using.
NOTE: When you add new media, make sure that you
remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten
the stack of new media. This reduces jams by preventing
multiple sheets of media from feeding through the printer
at one time.
When loading A6-size paper, adjust the length by sliding
forward only the center panel of the rear media guide.
