media-specific trays for best reliability.
■ When you select a media tray by location (Upper, Middle, Lower), the
printer feeds from that tray.
■ Always keep media in a sealed package to avoid the effects of moisture
which can affect feed reliability.
■ Always use the Manual Feed Slot for heavy media and envelopes.
■ Always fan the media before inserting it in the media tray.
