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

Correctly loading paper into the paper trays

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.
