of the cassette.
Remember the following before you remove or load a paper cassette:
• When a cassette is empty, the Error indicator lights. Press to display
the message ADD PAPER TO TRAY 1 (or 2).
• Do not remove the upper cassette when duplex printing, a paper jam will
occur. Feeding may occur from either cassette, but the top of the upper
cassette is part of the duplex refeed paper path.
• Push down and lock the paper elevator or tray (shown in , Figure 1–5)
before loading paper. The elevator lock releases as the cassette is installed
in a slot.
• Make sure the cassette top is clean and free of stickers or labels that can
catch and jam refeed sheets.
