Loading paper and specialty media
Setting the paper size and type
The Paper Size setting is automatically sensed according to the
position of the paper guides in each tray except in the standard
150 -sheet tr ay (Tray 1 ) and in the mult ipurpo se feede r. The Pap er Size
setting for Tray 1 is set manually via the wheel on the tray, while the
Paper Size setting for the multipurpose feeder is set in the Paper Size
menu.
From the home screen, navigate to:
> Paper Menu > Paper Size/Type > select a tray > select the
paper size or type >
Only Tray 1 has Plain Paper as the factory default Paper Type setting.
Custom 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are the default settings for the other trays.
Loading the standard or optional 550-sheet tray
The printer has standard150- (Tray 1) and 250-sh eet trays (Tray 2), and
it may have one or more optional 550-sheet trays. All 550- sheet trays
support the same paper sizes and types. The only sizes that are
supported for both long-edge and short-edge feeding are Letter and
A4. Anything longer than A 4 should be fed with the short edge of th e
page entering the printer first, anything shorter should be fed with
the long edge of the page entering the printer first.
Any unusual sized sheets or heavy weight media should be loaded
into the multipurpose feeder, which can support up to 50 sheets.
CAUTION—TIPPING HAZARD: To reduce the risk of
equipment instability, load each paper drawer or tray
separately. Keep all other drawers or trays closed until needed.

Notice the size indicators at the bottom of the tray. Use these
indicators to help position the guides.
2 Make sure to unlock the width guide lock at the rear of the tray.

Loading the multipurpose feeder
The multipurpose feeder can hold several sizes and types of print
media, such as transparencies, labels, card stock, and envelopes. It
can be used for single-page or manual printing, or as an additional
tray.
The multipurpose feeder can hold approximately:
• 50 sheets of 75-g/m
• 10 envelopes
• 20 transparencies
Note: Do not add or remove paper or specialty media when the
printer is printing from the multipurpose feeder or when the printer
control panel indicator light is blinking. Doing so may cause a jam.

Linking and unlinking trays
Linking trays
Tray linking is useful for large print jobs or for printing multiple copies.
When one linked tray is empty, paper feeds from the next linked tray.
When the Paper Size and Paper Type settings are the same for any
trays, the trays are automatically linked. The Paper Size setting is
automatically sensed according to the position of the paper guides
in each tray except Tray 1 and the multipurpose feeder. The Paper
Size setting for the multipurpose feeder must be set manually from
the Paper Size menu. The Paper Type setting must be set for all trays
from the Paper Type menu. The Paper Type menu and the Paper Size
menu are both available from the Paper Size/Type menu.
Warning—Potential Damage: Never use envelopes with
stamps, clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, or self-stick
adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer.
