3. Recycle the packing materials.

Load plain U.S. letter or A4 paper in the input tray.

1. Pull out the input tray.
   
2. Remove the tape, and then raise the paper cover.
   
3. To switch between U.S. Letter and A4-size paper or load legal-size paper, extend the input tray by pressing the latch, and then pulling out the front of the tray.
   
4. Turn over the input tray, grasp the lever, and then rotate the lever clockwise for letter or counterclockwise for A4.
   
5. Turn the input tray right-side up, and then push in the extended tray until it snaps into place.
6. Slide out the paper guides as far as possible.
   
7. Load paper into the tray print side up with the top edge towards the printer. To prevent paper jams, make sure the stack is below the paper fill guide.
