Loading the 250‑ and 550‑sheet tray
The printer has one 250-sheet tray (Tray 1) with an integrated manual
feeder. The 250-sheet tray, the 650-sheet duo tray, and the 550-sheet
tray support the same paper sizes and types and are loaded in the same
way.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of
equipment instability, load each tray separately. Keep all other
trays closed until needed.
1 Pull out the tray completely.
Note: Do not remove trays while a job is printing or while Busy
appears on the display. Doing so may cause a jam.
2 If the paper is longer than letter‑size paper, then squeeze and then
slide the length guide at the back of the tray to extend it.
3 Squeeze, and then slide the leng th guide tab to the correct position
for the size of the paper being loaded.
4 Squeeze, and then slide the width guide tab to the correct position
for the size of the paper being loaded.

letterhead
Two‑sided printing using a
letterhead
• Load envelope with the flap side up and against the right side
of the paper guide.
2 Feed paper into the manual feeder only to the point where its
leading edge can contact the paper guides.
Note: To achieve the best possible print quality, use only
high‑quality media designed for laser printers.
3 Adjust the paper guides to the width of the paper loaded.
Warning—Potential Damage: Do not force the paper into the
feeder. Forcing the paper may cause jams.
Loading the 650‑sheet duo tray
The 650‑sheet duo tray (Tray 2) consists of a 550‑sheet tray and an
integrated 100‑sheet multipurpose feeder. The tray is loaded in the
same way as the 250‑sheet tray and the optional 550‑sheet tray, and
supports the same paper types and sizes. The only differences are the
look of the guide tabs and the location of the paper size indicators.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of
equipment instability, load each tray separately. Keep all other
trays closed until needed.
9 From the printer control panel, set the paper size and paper type
in the Paper menu to match the paper loaded in the tray.
Note: Mixing paper sizes or paper types in a tray may cause
jams.
