This section provides information that you should know before loading paper in the paper trays.
Be sure to read this section before loading paper.

The names of the trays are as follows.

Some original and paper sizes can be placed in either the vertical or the horizontal orientation. To differentiate between 
vertical and horizontal orientations, paper sizes in the horizontal orientation will be followed by an "R" (for example, A4R, 
8-1/2" x 11"R).

include the "R" in their size indication.

dealer or nearest authorised service representative for advice on using these types of paper.

• The image quality and toner fusibility of paper may change 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 
authorised service representative for advice on using these types of 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.

A maximum of 500 sheets of paper from size B5R to A3 (8-1/2" x 11R to 11" x 17") can be loaded in trays 1 to 4.

Gently pull the tray out until it stops.
To load paper, go to step 3. To load a different size of paper, go 
to the next step.

• Guide plate A is an insertion-type plate. Remove it and 

insert it where the tick mark is located for loading the 
papers.

• Guide plate B is a slidable plate. Slide it while 

squeezing its lock lever.

• When loading 11"x17" papers, insert guide plate A on 

the front left side of the tray.

Fan the paper well before loading it. If the paper is not fanned, 
multiple sheets may feed at once and cause a misfeed.

Load the paper with the print side face up. The stack must not 
be higher than the indicator line (maximum of 500 sheets).
