2. Learning the Basic Usage

Media and tray

Loading paper in the tray

Open the tray.

Adjust the tray size to the media size you are loading (see "Tray overview"

on page 26). Then place the paper with the side you want to print facing up and open the output tray.

Squeeze the paper width guide and slide it to the edge of the paper stack

without causing it to bend.

Flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before

loading papers.

2. Learning the Basic Usage

Media and tray

• If you do not adjust the paper width guide, it may cause paper jams.

• Do not use a paper with a leading-edge curl, it may cause a paper jam or the paper can be wrinkled.

When you print a document, set the paper type and size for the tray (see

"Setting the paper size and type" on page 34).

2. Learning the Basic Usage

Media and tray

Manual feeding in the tray

The manual feeder can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes (see "Print media specifications" on page

62).

Tips on using the manual feeder

• Load only one type, size and weight of print media at time in the manual feeder.

•If you select Paper > Source > Manual Feeder for the paper source in

your software application, you need to press (Print screen) or

(WPS) button each time you print a page and load only one type,

size and weight of print media at a time on the manual tray.

• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing when there is still paper in the manual feeder.

• When the machine is in a power save mode, the machine does not feed paper from the manual feeder. Wake up the machine by pressing the power button before using the manual feeder.

• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the manual feeder first and be placed in the center of the tray.

• To ensure printing quality and to prevent paper jams, only load the available paper (see "Print media specifications" on page 62).

• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the manual feeder.

• When printing on special media, you must follow the loading guidelines (see "Printing on special media" on page 30).
