- Pull out the output tray and open the paper stopper.
- If you are inserting a stack of paper, fan the sheets first and tap the stack on a flat surface to even the edges. Note: Do not fan or curl photo paper.
Do one of the following:
- Insert paper, glossy or printable side up and short edge first, in the center of the paper support.
- Load a sheet of loose-leaf or other paper with holes facing as shown
- To load a sheet of paper longer than legal size, close the paper support and flatten the leading edge of the paper as shown
- Slide the edge guides against the paper, but not too tightly. Then flip the feeder guard back.
Always follow these paper loading guidelines:
- Load only the recommended number of sheets.
- Load paper short edge first, no matter which way your document faces.
- Load letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge first.
- Do not load paper above the arrow mark inside the edge guide.
- If you have trouble loading a stack of envelopes, press each envelope flat before loading it or load one envelope at a time.
- Do not load envelopes that are curled, folded, or too thin, or that have plastic windows or exposed adhesive flaps.

Placing Originals on the Scanner Glass
You can place originals up to this size on the scanner glass: Letter (8.5 × 11 inches [216 × 279 mm]) or A4 (8.3 × 11.7 inches [210 × 297 mm]).
- Open the document cover.Note: If there is any dust or dirt on the scanner glass, the scanning range may expand to include it, so the image of the original may be displaced or reduced. Remove any dust and dirt on the scanner glass before scanning.
- Place your original facedown on the scanner glass with the top facing into the corner. Slide the original to the edges of the indicated corner. Note: You can place multiple originals on the scanner glass. Just make sure they are at least 0.2 inch (4.5 mm) away from the edge of the scanner glass and at least 0.8 inch (20 mm) away from each other.
Note: The edges of your original may be cropped by 0.06 inch (1.5 mm) from the edge of the scanner glass. Manually position your original away from the edges to prevent cropping.
Note: When placing bulky originals such as books, prevent exterior light from shining directly onto the scanner glass. - Close the document cover gently to keep your original in place.
