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:
100 sheets of 75g/m
10 envelopes
75 transparencies
The multipurpose feeder accepts paper or specialty media within the following dimensions:
Width—89 mm (3.5 in.) to 229 mm (9.02 in.)
Length—127 mm (5 in.) to 1270 mm (50 in.)
Note: Maximum width and length can be applied only to short-edge feeding.
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.

Warning—Potential Damage: Never use envelopes with
stamps, clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, or self‑stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer.
Notes:
Do not exceed the maximum stack height by forcing paper or
transparencies under the stack height limiter.
Load only one size and type of paper at a time.
5 Adjust the width guide to lightly touch the edge of the stack. Make
sure the paper or specialty media fits loosely in the multipurpose feeder, lies flat, and is not bent or wrinkled.
6 From the printer control panel, set the Paper Size and Paper Type
for the multipurpose feeder (MP Feeder Size and MP Feeder Type) based on the paper or specialty media loaded.

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.

Unlinking trays

Note: Trays that do not have the same settings as any other tray are
not linked.
Change one of the following tray settings:
Paper Type
Paper Type names describe the paper characteristics. If the name that best describes your paper is used by linked trays, assign a
different Paper Type name to the tray, such as Custom Type [x], or define your own custom name.
Paper Size
Load a different paper size to automatically change the Paper Size setting for a tray. Paper Size settings for the multipurpose feeder are not automatic; they must be set manually from the Paper Size menu.
Warning—Potential Damage: Do not assign a Paper Type name that does not accurately describe the type of paper loaded in a tray. The temperature of the fuser varies according to the specified Paper Type. Prints may not be properly processed if an inaccurate Paper Type is selected.

Creating a custom name for a paper type

If the printer is on a network, you can use the Embedded Web Server to define a name other than Custom Type [x] for each of the custom paper types loaded into the printer.
1 Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web
browser.
Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then you can:
View the IP address on the printer control panel in the TCP/IP
section under the Networks/Ports menu.
Print a network setup page or the menu settings pages and
locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section.
2 Click Settings > Paper Menu > Custom Name > type a name >
Submit.
Note: This custom name will replace the Custom Type [x] name
under the Custom Types and Paper Size and Type menus.
3 Click Custom Types > select a paper type > Submit.

Assigning a custom paper type name

1 From the home screen, navigate to:
> Paper Menu > Paper Size/Type
2 Select the tray number or MP Feeder Type.
3 Touch the left or right arrow until Custom Type [x] or another
custom name appears.
