Loading paper

Loading the standard 250-sheet tray

The printer has two trays to select from: the standard tray (Tray 1), also known as the 250-sheet tray, and either the optional 250-sheet tray or the optional 550-sheet tray (Tray 2). Only one optional drawer (which includes an optional tray) may be attached to the printer at one time.
2 Squeeze the width guide tabs on the right guide as shown, and
slide the width guides to the sides of the tray. Notice that the two width guides move in unison when you move just the right width guide.
3 Squeeze the length guide tabs together as shown, and slide
the length guide to the correct position for the paper size being loaded.
the position for the length of paper you are loading. The tray extends backwards as shown.
Notes:
Proper paper loading prevents jams and facilitates
trouble-free printing.
Do not remove trays while a job prints or while Busy appears
on the display. Doing so may cause a jam.
1 Pull the tray completely out.
If you are loading a longer size of paper like A4 or legal, squeeze the length guide tab and slide the length guide backwards to
1
If you are loading A6-size paper:
a Squeeze the length guide tab shown as follows, and slide
the length guide toward the center of the tray to the A5 size position.
b Raise the A6 backstop.
Note: The standard tray only accommodates 150 sheets of A6
paper. Notice the maximum fill line on the A6 backstop which indicates the maximum height for loading A6 paper. Do not try to overload the tray.
Notes:
Notice the size indicators on the bottom of the tray. Use
these indicators to help position the guide.
For setup, load letter- or A4-size paper based on the
standard size for your country or region.
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 toward the back of the tray as shown with
the recommended print side facedown.
Note: Notice the maximum fill line on the side of the width guide which indicates the maximum height for loading paper. Do not try to overload the tray. Do not load A6 paper to the maximum fill line; the tray only holds 150 sheets of A6 paper.
7 Insert the tray.
When loading letterhead, place the top edge of the sheet toward the front of the tray. Load the letterhead with the design placed facedown.
6 Squeeze the width guide tabs on the right guide, and slide the
width guides to lightly touch the side of the stack.
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 printer control panel. For more information, see “Setting the Paper Size and Paper Type” on page 5.
Note: The difference between the standard 250-sheet tray and the optional 250- and 550-sheet trays is that the standard tray accommodates A6-size paper, so the width guides slide farther to the center of the tray. You also need to adjust the length guide specifically created for A6.

Loading the optional 250- or 550-sheet tray

Only one optional drawer, which includes either a 250- or 550-sheet tray, may be attached to the printer at a time. Regardless of the number of sheets in the optional tray, it is referred to as Tray
2.
1 Pull the tray completely out.
3 Insert the tray.

Using the multipurpose feeder

You may want to use the multipurpose feeder when you print on different sizes and types of papers or specialty media, such as card stock, transparencies, and envelopes. You may also want to use
the multipurpose feeder for single-page print jobs on letterhead or on other specialty media you do not keep in a tray.
Opening the multipurpose feeder
1 Grasp the handle, and pull the multipurpose feeder door
down.
2 Grasp the raised handle, and pull the extension forward.
2 See “Loading the standard 250-sheet tray” on page 1 to
complete the steps for loading a tray. An optional tray is loaded in the same way that the standard tray is loaded.

3 Grasp the handle, and pull the extension so it flips forward.
4 Guide the extension down gently so the multipurpose feeder
is extended fully and open.
Loading the multipurpose feeder
1 Squeeze the tab located on the right width guide, and move
the guides out fully.
2 Prepare the paper or specialty media for loading.
Flex sheets of paper or paper labels back and forth to
loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the paper or labels. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
Flex a stack of envelopes back and forth to loosen them,
and then fan them. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
Note: Fanning prevents the edges of envelopes from sticking together. It also helps them feed properly to avoid jams. Do not fold or crease envelopes.
3 Load the paper or specialty media.
Notes:
Do not force any paper into the multipurpose feeder.
Overfilling may cause jams.
Do not exceed the maximum stack height by forcing paper
or specialty media under the stack height limiters which are located on the guides.
Hold transparencies by the edges, and then fan them.
Straighten the edges on a level surface.
Note: Avoid touching the print side of the transparencies. Be careful not to scratch them.

recommended print side faceup and the top edge entering the printer first. For more information on loading transparencies, see the packaging the transparencies came in.
Load letterhead with the logo faceup and the top edge
entering the printer first.
