    If you are loading Legal size paper, press and hold the universal guide release button and pull the front of the paper tray forward to extend it.

  7. With both hands, gently press and slide the paper side guides to fit the paper you are installing.

    The paper side guides are the two plastic guides on the left and right sides of the paper tray.

    • Be careful not to push the paper too far into the tray. Doing so may cause the paper to lift and the back of the tray and cause feed problems.

    • When adding new sheets of paper into the tray, DO NOT just slide the new sheets of paper on top of the paper in the tray. We recommend that you set new paper after the last paper is fed in the paper feed tray and the paper tray is empty.

  8. Close the output paper tray cover.

  9. Slowly push the paper tray back into the machine.
