Load the priority input tray (Tray 1)

NOTE: When adding new paper, make sure to remove all of the paper from the input tray and straighten the

stack. Do not fan the paper. This reduces jams by preventing multiple sheets of paper from feeding through the product at one time. Use paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged.

1. Load the paper face-up with the top forward in

the input tray.

The orientation of the paper in the tray varies depending on the type of print job. For additional information, see Table 2-1 Tray 1 paper

orientation on page 13.

2. Adjust the paper guides until they are snug

against the paper.
