Pull out the output tray, and then raise the tray extender.

Raise the input tray.
Slide the paper width guide all the way to the left.
Load a stack of photo paper or cards into the input tray with the short edge down and the print side up. If you are loading photo paper with perforated tabs, load the paper so that the tabs are on top.

Slide the stack of paper in until it stops.

CAUTION:
Do not load photo paper while the printer is printing. Jams or paper feed issues might occur.
Slide the paper width guide to the right until it stops at the edge of the photo paper.
