Extending the tray for legal or folio size paper

To load legal or folio size paper, extend the paper tray. You may also attach a dust cover (not available for all models) on the back of the printer to protect the tray while it is extended.

1Press down on the latch at the back of the tray.

2Expand the tray until the extender locks into place.

Attaching the dust cover

The dust cover helps protect the paper tray from the environment. It also keeps the tray from being knocked out of position while it is extended.

Note: This feature may not be available for all models.

Attach the dust cover (if available) to the back of the printer by aligning the tabs on the cover to the holes on the printer, then snap the cover into place.
