Loading paper and specialty media

2 Squeeze the width guide tabs together as shown, and move

the width guide to the side of the tray.

When loading preprinted letterhead, place the header toward
the front of the tray.

Loading the standard tray

The printer has two trays to select from: the standard tray (Tray 1),
also known as the 250-sheet tray, and the optional 550-sheet tray
(Tray 2). Load the paper or specialty media used for the majority
of print jobs in Tray 1. Proper paper loading prevents jams and
facilitates trouble-free printing.

Do not remove trays while a job prints or while Busy blinks on the
display. Doing so may cause a jam.

1 Grasp the handle and pull the tray out. Remove the tray

completely.

3 Squeeze the length guide tabs together as shown, and slide

the length guide to the correct position for the size of paper
being loaded. Notice the size indicators in the window in the
bottom of the tray. Use these indicators to help position the
guide. Notice the load lines on the width guide tab: they
indicate the maximum height for loading paper.

4 Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan

them. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on
a level surface.

5 Load the paper stack with the recommended print side faceup.

Load the stack toward the back of the tray as shown.

6 Squeeze the width guide tabs, and slide the width guide to

lightly touch the side of the stack.

7 Align the tray, and insert it.

8 If a different type of paper was loaded than the type previously

loaded in the tray, change the Paper Type setting for the tray
from the control panel. For more information, see “Setting the
Paper Size and Paper Type” on page 3.

Loading the optional 550-sheet tray

The optional 550-sheet drawer consists of a 550-sheet tray and a
support unit. This tray is loaded in the same way that the standard
tray is loaded. The only differences between the trays are the look
of the guide tabs and the location of the paper size indicators, as
shown in the following illustration. When the 550-sheet tray is
loaded for the first time or when a new size is loaded, remove the
tray completely from the support unit.

Note: If the same paper size is loaded again, the tray does not need

to be completely removed from the support unit. Just remove and
load the paper without adjusting the guides.
