and types of paper or specialty media, such as envelopes and
transparencies.

1 (MPT).
• Load up to 150 sheets or a stack of paper that weighs 60–216
g/m2 and is less than 15 mm (.59 in.) high. The minimum paper
size supported is 76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.).
• Tray 1 (MPT) supports paper or specialty media within the
following dimensions: 76.2 x 127 mm–220.0 x 355.6 mm

• For duplex printing, you can load paper that is 64–163 g/m
• Do not load different types of paper at the same time.

or if there is any paper still in the tray. Doing so may cause a

Loading Tray 2 and Tray 3
The printer has two trays to select from: the standard tray (Tray 2),
also known as the 250-sheet tray, and the optional 550-sheet tray
(Tray 3), which is part of the 550-sheet drawer and fits into the
support unit. Proper paper loading prevents jams and facilitates
trouble-free printing.
Load the standard tray or optional tray in the same way.

completely.
Note: Do not remove trays while a job prints. Doing so may
cause a jam.
