General Guidelines
• Do not load different types of paper into the same tray at the same time.
• Use high-quality paper for laser printers to print at high quality. See Usable Paper on page 56.
• Do not remove or add paper to the tray when printing, or if there is any paper still in the tray. Doing
so may cause a paper jam.
• Do not put any objects other than paper on the tray. Also, do not push or force down the paper
tray.
• When refilling paper, first remove any remaining in the tray, then stack it with the new paper, even
the edges, then reload it.
• Always load paper short-edge feed.
