To load an original on the scanner glass

TIP: For more help on loading an original, refer to the engraved guides along the

To load 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inch) photo paper in the input tray
1. Remove all paper from the input tray.
2. Insert the stack of photo paper into the far-right side of the input tray with the short
edge forward and the print side down. Slide the stack of photo paper forward until it stops. If the photo paper you are using has perforated tabs, load the photo paper so that the tabs are closest to you.
TIP: For more help on loading small-size photo paper, refer to the guides
engraved in the base of the input tray for loading photo paper.
3. Slide the paper-width guide inward until it stops at the edge of the paper.
Do not overload the input tray; make sure the stack of paper fits within the input tray and is no higher than the top of the paper-width guide.

Avoid paper jams

To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.
Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable bag.
Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn.
Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack
of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.
