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 up to 10 envelopes in the center of the paper support. Load them printable side up and flap edge left.
Load up to 10 envelopes in the center of the paper support. Load them printable side up and flap edge left.

Always follow these paper-loading guidelines:

Load only the recommended number of sheets.
