Insert paper into the paper tray. Xerox machines have one or more paper trays that draw blank sheets of paper into the machine for copying. The tray indicates the number of sheets of paper that can be loaded. Do not overfill the machine because this can lead to excessive paper jams.

2
Place your documents in the feeder tray or on the copying area. If you are using the document feeder tray to copy multiple papers, remove all paper clips or staples and do not overload the document feeder tray. This prevents the feeder tray from jamming and becoming damaged.
