- Be careful that you do not push the paper in too far; it may lift at 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.
- Put on the paper tray cover.
- Slowly push the paper tray back into the machine.
