  4. Put paper in the tray and make sure:
    • The paper is below the maximum paper mark Max Paper Mark (1), which is located on the top of the right and left green paper guides. Overfilling the paper tray will cause paper jams.
    • The side to be printed on must be face down.
    • The paper guides touch the sides of the paper so it will feed properly.
