If the paper runs out during printing, a message will appear in the display.
Follow the procedure below to load paper.

Gently pull the tray out
until it stops.

Do not load paper above
the maximum height line
(approximately 500
sheets of 80 g/m

2

 (20

lbs.) paper).

Push the tray firmly all the way into the machine.

If you change the paper type setting if the paper
type is changed in either paper tray, refer to
"Setting the paper type and paper size" (page 

For paper tray 1, A4, B5 or 8-1/2" x 11" size paper can be set. Use the following procedure to change the size as
needed.

If paper remains in the tray, remove it.

The guide plates A and
B are slidable. Adjust
them to the paper size to
be loaded while
squeezing their lock
levers.

Push the tray firmly all the way into the machine.

Be sure to set the paper size and paper type
referring to "Setting the paper type and paper size"
(page 

).

If this is not done, paper misfeeds will occur.

NOTES
● Do not use curled or folded paper. Doing so may cause a misfeed.

● For best results use paper supplied by SHARP. (See page 2-4.)

● When you change the paper type and size in paper tray 1, set the paper type and size referring to "Setting the

paper type and paper size" (page 

).

● Do not place heavy objects or press hard on any tray which is pulled out.

● Load paper with the print side face up. However, when the paper type is set to "PRE-PRINTED",

"PRE-PUNCHED" or "LETTER HEAD", load the paper face down*.
* If the two-sided function is disabled using "DISABLING OF DUPLEX" in the key operator programs (page 11

of the key operator's guide), load the paper face up.
