Make copies on Ledger paper?

You can make copies of Ledger-size documents by following these steps:


Loading Ledger paper into your Brother machine


Regardless of the paper size you are using, you must always load the paper into the paper tray so that its two longer edges face the left and right sides of the paper tray and its two shorter edges face the front and back of the paper tray.


In other words, if you are standing in front of the paper tray, the paper should be in portrait orientation, not landscape orientation.


Adjusting the paper tray


To load Ledger paper into the paper tray, follow these steps:

  1. Pull the paper tray completely out of the machine.

    - The universal guide release button is a green button located on the front right corner of the paper tray.

  6. With both hands, gently press and slide the paper length guide (1) and paper side guides(2) to fit the paper size you are installing.

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

    • The paper length guide is the green plastic tab located at the front center of the paper tray.

    • Make sure the triangular marks (3) on the paper side guides (2) and paper length guide (1) line up with the mark labeled LGR.
