Loading paper and
specialty media
Loading the standard or
optional 250-sheet or 550-sheet
tray
Although the 250-sheet tray and the 550-sheet tray are different
in appearance, they require the same process for loading paper.
Use these instructions to load paper in either tray:
1 Pull the tray out.
Note: Do not remove trays while a job prints or while Busy
appears on the display. Doing so may cause a jam.
2 Squeeze the width guide tab inward as shown, and move the
width guide to the correct position for the paper size being
loaded.
3 Unlock the length guide, squeeze the length guide tab inward
as shown, and slide the guide to the correct position for the
paper size being loaded.
Notes:
• Use the size indicators on the bottom of the tray to help
position the guides.
• For standard paper sizes, lock the length guide.
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.

• Print side facedown for single-sided printing
• Print side faceup for duplex printing
Note: Paper must be loaded differently in the trays if an
optional StapleSmartTM II Finisher is installed. For more
information, see the User's Guide.
Note: Notice the maximum fill line on the side of the tray
which indicates the maximum height for loading paper. Do
not overload the tray.

of the stack, and lock the length guide for the paper sizes
indicated on the tray.

loaded in the tray, then change the Paper Type setting for the
tray from the printer control panel.
