More about installing drivers

Installing drivers for local printing

The printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with your printer. The procedure to install drivers depends on the operating system you are using. Use the following table to

find driver installation instructions for your particular operating system. If you need additional help, refer to the documentation that shipped with your computer and your software.

Operating system Go to page...

Loading the multipurpose feeder

You can use the multipurpose feeder one of two ways:

• Paper tray—As a paper tray, you can load paper or specialty media in the feeder with the intention

of leaving the media in the feeder.

• Manual bypass feeder—As a manual bypass feeder, you send a print job to the feeder while

specifying the type and size of media from your computer. The printer then prompts you to load the appropriate print media before it prints.

To load the multipurpose feeder:

1 Open the multipurpose feeder.

2 Squeeze the paper guide lever and slide the guide all the way toward the front of the printer.

3 Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the print

media. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.

Arrange the stack of paper or specialty media correctly for the size, type, and print method you are using.

5 Place the paper or specialty media, print side up, along the left side of the multipurpose feeder,

and then push it in as far as it will easily go. Do not force the media.

Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the feeder may cause jams.

6 Squeeze the paper guide lever and slide the guide until it lightly touches the side of the stack.

7 If you are loading a different type of media than was previously loaded in the tray, change the

Paper Type setting for that tray on the operator panel. See Paper Type on page 62 for more information.

Printing on specialty media (transparencies, labels, other)

Follow these instructions when you want to print on media such as transparencies, card stock, glossy paper, labels, or envelopes.

1 Load the media as specified for the tray you are using. For help, see any of the following:

– Loading the trays – Loading the multipurpose feeder

2 From the printer operator panel, set the Paper Type and Paper Size according to the media you

loaded. If the type of the media you are loading is the same as the media previously loaded, you do not need to change the Paper Type setting.

Note: Paper Size cannot be adjusted when auto size sensing is enabled. Auto size sensing

is enabled by default for printer trays, but is not available for the multipurpose feeder.
