How it's used
Primarily used in administrative or bureaucratic contexts to refer to the formal submission of applications, such as for marriage registration or government housing. When referring to printers, it specifically describes the mechanical action of refilling the paper tray. It carries a sense of procedural formality when used for applications, contrasting with the more casual word 交.
Examples
The machine is out of paper, can you help load some?
When did they submit their application for public housing?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the literal act of putting a piece of paper into a folder or book, as it is strictly reserved for the specific actions of machine maintenance or formal application submission.
