This chapter explains how to load paper in the machines trays.
IMPORTANT POINTS ABOUT PAPER
This section provides information that you should know before loading paper in the paper trays.
Be sure to read this section before loading paper.
NAMES AND LOCATIONS OF TRAYS
The trays are identified by the names indicated below. For the sizes and types of paper that can be loaded in each tray, 
see the Safety Guide.
Tray numbers
The tray numbers vary depending on the peripheral devices that are installed.
The explanations in this manual assume that a stand/2 x 500 sheet paper drawer and large capacity tray are installed.
If your machine has a stand/1 x 500 sheet paper drawer and a large capacity tray installed, substitute Tray 4 wherever Tray 5 
appears in this manual.

THE MEANING OF R IN PAPER SIZES
Some original and paper sizes can be placed in either the vertical or the horizontal orientation. To differentiate between 
vertical and horizontal orient ations, paper sizes in the horizontal orientat ion will be followed by an R (for example, 
8-1/2 x 11R, 5-1/2 x 8-1/2R, A4R, B5R).
Sizes that can be placed only in the horizontal orientati on (11 x 17, 8-1/2 x 14, 8-1/2 x 13, A3, B4) do not include 
R in their size indication.
USEABLE PAPER
Various types of paper are sold. This section separately expl ains the plain paper and the special media that can be used 
with the machine. For detailed information on the sizes and types of paper that can be loaded in each tray of the 
machine, see the specifications in the Safety Guide and Paper Tray Settings in the System Settings Guide.

Some types cannot be used with the machine. Contact your

 The image quality and toner fusibility of paper may chang e due to ambient conditions, operating conditions, and paper 
characteristics, resulting in image quality inferior to that  of SHARP standard paper. Contact your dealer or nearest SHARP 
Service Department for advice on suitable paper.
 The use of non-recommended or prohibited paper may result  in skewed feeding, misfeeds, poor toner fusing (the toner 
does not adhere to the paper well and  can be rubbed off), or machine failure.
 The use of non-recommended paper may result in misfeeds  or poor image quality. Before using non-recommended paper, 
check if printing can be performed properly.

TRAY SETTINGS FOR TRAYS 1 TO 4
LOADING PAPER
A maximum of 500 sheets of paper from size 5-1/2 x 8-1/2R to size 11 x 17 (A5R to A3) can be loaded in trays 1 and 2. 
A maximum of 500 sheets of paper from size 7-1/4 x 10-1/2R to size 11 x 17 (B5R to A3) can be loaded in trays 3 and 4.
For detailed information on the paper that can be loaded, see the specifications in the Safety Guide and Paper Tray 
Settings in the System Settings Guide.
1
Pull out the paper tray.
Gently pull the tray out until it stops.
2
Fan the paper.
Before loading the paper, fan it well. If the paper is not fanned, 
multiple sheets may feed at once and cause a misfeed.
3
Insert the paper into the tray.
Insert the paper with the print side face up.
However, letterhead and pre-printed paper should be inserted 
with the print side face down.
The paper stack must not be higher than the indicator line (no 
more than 500 sheets).
If Disabling of Duplex is enabled in the system settings (administrator), insert letterhead and pre-printed paper with 
the print side face up.
4
Gently push the paper tray into the 
machine.
Push the tray firmly all the way into the machine.
When loading paper, if you change the paper size from an inch size to an AB size, or from an AB size to an inch size, 
or if you change the paper type, be sure to change the paper type setting as explained in Paper Tray Settings in the 
System Settings Guide.
Do not place heavy objects on the tray or press down on the tray.

CHANGING THE PAPER SIZE
1
Pull out the paper tray.
Gently pull the tray out until it stops.
If paper remains in the tray, remove it.
2
Adjust the guide plates A and B by 
squeezing their lock levers and sliding 
them to match the vertical and 
horizontal dimensions of the paper to be 
loaded.
The guide plates A and B are slidable. Slide each guide plate 
while squeezing its lock lever.
3
Fan the paper.
Before loading the paper, fan it well. If the paper is not fanned, 
multiple sheets may feed at once and cause a misfeed.
4
Insert the paper into the tray.
Insert the paper with the print side face up.
However, letterhead and pre-printed paper should be inserted 
with the print side face down.
The paper stack must not be higher than the indicator line (no 
more than 500 sheets).
If Disabling of Duplex is enabled in the system settings (administrator), insert letterhead and pre-printed paper with 
the print side face up.

Set the paper size and paper type.
Be sure to change the paper size and paper type settings as 
explained in Paper Tray Settings in the System Settings 
Guide.
When the size of paper used in a tray is changed, the correct 
paper size setting must be selected. If the paper size setting is 
incorrect, the wrong size of paper will be selected when 
automatic paper selection operates, preventing printing or 
causing a misfeed or other problem.
Do not place heavy objects on the tray or press down on the tray.
If you changed the paper loaded in tray 1 to tray 4...
