If you want to load paper into drawer 1, go to step 3.
Align the paper guides with the size indicators for the paper to be loaded by sliding each guide while pressing the top part of that guide.
Slide the guides until they click into place. If the guides are not aligned correctly, the paper size will not correctly appear on the touch panel display. It is also necessary to adjust the guides correctly to avoid causing a paper jam, dirty prints, or making the inside of the machine dirty.

Prepare paper.
Fan the paper stack well, and tap it on a flat surface to align the edges.
Fan all four sides of the paper stack well.
Make sure that there is enough air between each sheet of paper.

Set the paper size and type, as needed. Setting the Paper Size and Type for the Drawer
By default, the paper size and type of the drawer are set to A4 and Plain 2. When paper of a different size or type is loaded, change the paper settings.
When changing the paper size, change the paper size label as necessary. Note that the paper size label may include paper sizes which are unavailable on the machine.
If there are instructions on the paper package about which side of the paper to load, follow those instructions.
Paper may overlap when it is fed or a paper jam may occur, depending on the cut surface of the paper. Changing the paper orientation and loading it again may reduce the effect of the cut surface.
If paper runs out and printing is stopped, load a new paper stack. Printing restarts after the new paper stack is loaded.
