Loading the trays, Printing on special media

Loading the trays

1Open the tray.

2Slide the guides out of the way. Pull up on the right guide, and press the lever on the back guide. (Trays 4 and 5 only have a back guide.)

3Place the print media against the front left corner of the tray. Labels on the tray indicate paper size and orientation.

Note: Do not overload the trays. This can cause print media jams. The label on the back guide indicates the maximum stack height.

4Adjust the back and side guides so they lightly touch the sides of the stack.

Use the multipurpose feeder to print on special media that is not already loaded in the trays.

The multipurpose feeder accepts plain paper, envelopes, transparencies, card stock, and labels.

1In your word processor, spreadsheet, browser, or other application, select File ➤ Print.

2Click Properties (or Options, Printer, or Setup depending on the application) to view the printer driver settings.

3Select MP Feeder from the Form Source list box.

4Specify the size and type of your print media.

5Click OK, and then send your print job as usual.

6Go to the printer. A display message prompts you to load print media.

7Open the multipurpose feeder.

8Slide the side guide to the back.

9Pull out the extension guide so it supports the entire length of the print media.

Note: Do not overload the multipurpose feeder. This can cause print media jams. The label on the guide indicates the maximum stack height.
