Solution
The following describes how to load paper in the cassette and the multi-purpose feeder.
NOTE
a. The paper in the multi-purpose feeder takes priority over the paper in the cassette.
b. The cassette holds up to approx. 250 sheets (FAX-L380S)/500 sheets (FAX-L390) of 17 lb (64 g/m2) paper or approx. 20 envelopes*.
*Only for the FAX-L380S model.
Loading Paper in the Cassette
1. Pull out the cassette completely.
2. Pinch and slide the length slide guide to fit the size of the paper stack you want to load.
For the FAX-L390 model, attach the stopper of the paper size rear guide for the desired paper size by inserting the tabs into the matching slots on the paper cassette.
IMPORTANT
a. If the slide guides are not adjusted correctly for the size of the paper, the quality of your printouts may be adversely affected or jams may occur.
b. For the FAX-L390 model, be sure to properly attach the stopper of the paper size rear guide for the correct paper size.
3. Adjust the width slide guides or paper width guides to match the paper size.
4. Fan the paper stack first, then tap the edges on a flat surface to even the stack.
5. Load the paper stack in the cassette with the print side down.
When you load paper with a logo, position the paper with the logo side down and load it so that the top of the paper feeds first in the cassette.
Make sure the paper stack does not exceed the load limit mark below.
(A): Load limit mark
(B): Hooks
6. Insert the cassette into the machine.
NOTE
a. If you do not completely insert the cassette into the machine, paper jams may occur.
b. Do not load paper from the rear of the cassette.
7. Specify the paper size and type.

IMPORTANT
a. Do not load different size and type of paper at the same time.

Loading Envelopes in the Cassette
NOTE
Loading Envelopes in the Cassette is only for the FAX-L380S model.
1. Arrange the stack of envelopes on a firm, clean surface, and press down firmly on the edges to make the folds crisp.
Press all the way around the envelopes to remove any curls and expel air from inside the envelopes. Also, press firmly on the area that corresponds to the edges of the back flap.
2. Remove any curling from the envelopes by holding the edges diagonally and bending them gently.
3. Run a pen or other rounded object along the back flaps to flatten them.
The flaps should not bulge more than 5 mm (13/64 in.).

The envelope in the multi-purpose feeder is fed prior to the paper in the cassette.
1. Slide the slide guides to fit the size of the envelope you want to load.
IMPORTANT
If the slide guides are not adjusted correctly for the size of the envelope, the quality of your printouts may be adversely affected or jams may occur.
2. Insert the envelope straightly in the multi-purpose feeder with the print side up and the right edge (i.e., closer to the stamp) first.
