Loading paper and original documents
Loading paper
1 Make sure:
• You use paper designed for inkjet printers.
• If you are using photo, glossy, or heavyweight matte paper, you load it with the glossy or printable side facing
you. (If you are not sure which side is the printable side, see the instructions that came with the paper.)
• The paper is not used or damaged.
• If you are using specialty paper, you follow the instructions that came with it.
• You do not force paper into the printer.
2 Before loading paper the first time, slide the paper guides out toward the edges of the paper support. You can
load up to:
• 100 sheets of plain paper
• 25 sheets of heavyweight matte paper
• 25 sheets of photo paper
• 25 sheets of glossy paper
Note: Photos require more drying time. Remove each photo as it exits, and allow it to dry to avoid ink smudging.
3 Load the paper vertically in the center of the paper support, and adjust the paper guides to rest against the edges
of the paper.

Note: To avoid paper jams, make sure the paper does not buckle when you adjust the paper guides.
Using the automatic paper type sensor
The printer is equipped with an automatic paper type sensing device. The Paper Type Sensor automatically detects
the type of paper that has been loaded into the printer and adjusts the settings for you. For example, if you want to
print a photo, load photo paper into the printer. The printer detects the type of paper and automatically adjusts the
settings to give you optimum photo-printing results.
Loading envelopes
You can load up to 10 envelopes at a time.
Warning: Do not use envelopes that have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.
1 Load envelopes in the center of the paper support with the stamp location in the upper left corner.
2 Make sure:
• The print side of the envelopes faces you.
• The envelopes are designed for use with inkjet printers.
