Loading the Paper tray

Your printer accepts A4, Letter, Legal, 8x 10, 5 x 7, and 4 x 6 paper, as well as envelopes, transparencies, and labels. The paper tray capacity is 100 sheets of 20lb. plain paper.

Loading plain paper


  1. Pull the paper tray all the way out until the paper guide flips up on the right side.

  2. Slide the paper-width guide to its left-most position.

  3. Align the edges of a stack of paper.

  4. Insert the stack of paper into the paper tray with the print-side down.

  5. For paper less than 8.5 inches wide, squeeze the paper-width guide and slide it to the right until it lightly touches the stack of paper.

  6. Leave the paper tray open when paper is loaded

  7. Pull the output tray extender all the way out.

  8. Lift the small gray paper stop (at the near edge of the output tray extender) until it is perpendicular to the tray.

Loading 4 x 6 photo paper

You can load up to 30 sheets of 4 x 6 inch (101 x 150 mm) photo paper into the paper tray. Photo paper must be loaded coated side facing down.


  1. Remove all other paper from the paper tray you plan to use.

  2. Insert photo paper into the right side of the paper tray print-side down, with the short edge forward. Do not overload the tray.

  3. Slide the paper forward until it stops.

  4. Squeeze the paper-width guide and slide it to the right until it just touches the loaded paper.

Things to Keep in Mind
  • After you finish loading paper into the paper tray, leave the paper tray open during all print, copy, and scan jobs.





  • Lift the small gray paper stop (at the edge of the output tray extender) until it is perpendicular to the tray. This prevents the printed paper from sliding off of the paper tray as it exits the printer. This step is especially important when paper more than 11 inches (279 mm) long is loaded in the paper tray.

WARNING: The hinged section of the paper tray serves as the paper tray door when the ESP 5 All-in-One is closed. Avoid lifting it perpendicular to the paper tray, even when it is extended out. When paper is held against the paper tray door, the printer may pull it into the printer after it has been printed, causing a paper jam.
