Loading paper and specialty media

Loading the standard or optional 500-sheet trays

The printer has two standard 500-sheet trays (Tray 1 and Tray 2), and it may have one or more optional 500-sheet trays. All 500-sheet trays support the same paper sizes and types. Paper may be loaded in the trays in either the long-edge or short-edge orientation.
1 Pull the tray completely out.
2 Squeeze and slide the width and length guides to the correct
positions for the paper size being loaded.
5 Make sure the paper guides are secure against the edges of
the paper.
6 Insert the tray.
3 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.
4 Load the paper stack with the reco mmended print side faceup.
Load the paper in either the long-edge or short-edge orientation as shown.
Notes:
Load sizes larger than A4 in the short-edge orientation.
Make sure the paper is below the max fill line located on
the edge of the paper tray. Overloading the tray can cause paper jams and possible printer damage.

7 If the paper type you loaded differs from the type that was
previously loaded in the tray, then change the Paper Type setting for the tray.
