❏
Carefully lower the automatic sheet feeder into the printer, making sure that
the two round tabs on either end of it enter into the slots inside the printer.
You should have the automatic sheet feeder angled towards the front of the
printer (at about the same angle that it was when you pulled the feeder
forward while detaching it).

naturally slip into place, with the part that holds the paper angled slightly
towards the back of the printer.

If you leave the paper support installed on the printer while there is no paper
in the automatic sheet feeder, it will catch on the fanfold paper that is fed from
the printer and cause paper jams. Detach the paper support from the printer
