Notes:
• For some paper sizes like letter, legal, and A4, squeeze and
slide the length guide tab backward to accommodate their
length.
• When loading legal‑size paper, the length guide extends
beyond the base leaving the paper exposed to dust. To
protect the paper from dust, you can purchase a dust cover
separately. For more information, contact customer support.
• If you are loading A6-size paper in the standard tray, then
squeeze and then slide the length guide tab toward the
center of the tray to the A6‑size position.
• Make sure the width and length guides are aligned with the
paper size indicators on the bottom of the tray.
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.

or preprinted paper.
• Load prepunched paper with the holes on the top edge
toward the front of the tray.
• Load letterhead facedown, with the top edge of the sheet
toward the front of the tray. For two‑sided printing, load
letterhead faceup with the bottom edge of the sheet toward
the front of the tray.

then fan them. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
4 Load the paper or specialty media.
Notes:
• Do not force paper or specialty media into the multipurpose
feeder.
• Make sure the paper or specialty media is below the
maximum paper fill indicator located on the paper guides.
Overfilling may cause paper jams.
• Load paper, transparencies, and card stock with the
recommended printable side faceup and the top edge entering
the printer first. For more information on loading
transparencies, see the packaging that the transparencies came
in.
Note: When loading A6‑size paper, make sure the
multipurpose feeder extender rests lightly against the edge
of the paper so that the last few sheets of paper remain in
place.
• Hold transparencies by the edges. Flex the stack of
transparencies back and forth to loosen them, and then fan
them. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
Note: Avoid touching the printable side of the
transparencies. Be careful not to scratch them.

Warning—Potential Damage: Never use envelopes with
stamps, clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, or self‑stick
adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the
printer.
5 From the printer control panel, set the paper size and paper type
in the Paper menu to match the paper or specialty media loaded
in the multipurpose feeder.
Linking and unlinking trays
When one linked tray becomes empty, paper feeds from the next linked

you should be able to avoid most jams. If jams occur, then follow the
steps outlined in this chapter.
Warning—Potential Damage: Never use any tool to remove a jam.
Doing so could permanently damage the fuser.
Avoiding jams

illustration.
• Make sure the guides in the tray or the multipurpose feeder are
properly positioned and are not pressing tightly against the paper
or envelopes.
• Push the tray firmly into the printer after loading paper.

Understanding jam messages and locations
When a jam occurs, a message indicating the jam location and
information to clear the jam appears on the printer display. Open the
doors, covers, and trays indicated on the display to remove the jam.

blank pages or pages with partial prints to the standard bin after
a jammed page has been cleared. Check your printed output
stack for discarded pages.
• When Jam Recovery is set to On or Auto, the printer reprints
jammed pages. However, the Auto setting does not guarantee
