Selecting the Output Location

The printer has two output locations: the face-up output slot and the face-down output tray. You can select the output location by changing the position of the output lever on the front of the printer. To use the face-down output tray, be sure the output lever is in upper (normal) position. To use the face-up output slot, push the output lever down.

•If paper coming out of the face-down output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the face-up output slot.

•To avoid paper jams, do not change the position of the output lever while printing.

Printing to the Face-Down Output Tray

The face-down output tray collects paper in face-downorder. To use, make sure the output lever is in the upper position. (If it is not, push it up)

The face-down output tray should be used for most print jobs and is recommended when printing large jobs.

Printing to the Face-Up Output Slot

The printer prints to the face-up output slot if open. Push the output lever down to open the slot. Paper will come out of the printer face-up.

Using the face-up output slot might improve output quality with the following:

•envelopes

•labels

•Transparency films

•paper heavier than 24 lb (90 g/m2)

Loading Paper

Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and insures trouble-free printing. Do not remove paper from the tray(s) while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam.

Using the Automatic Input Tray

The automatic input tray holds 150 sheets of paper and five sheets of special media. See “Media Sizes and Capacities” on page 4.2 for acceptable paper size and capacities for each input tray.

Load a stack of paper into the automatic input tray and print. For details on loading paper in the automatic input tray, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.4.

Note: Before using the automatic input tray, you must remove the paper from the manual input tray.

Using the Manual Input Tray

If you select Manual in the Paper Source option, you can manually load paper in the manual input tray. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print quality after each page is printed.

If you experience a paper jam from the automatic input tray, load one sheet of paper at a time into the manual input tray.

Note: To avoid a paper jam, use the manual tray with the automatic input tray loaded with paper.

1 Load the print media in the manual input tray with the print side up.

Adjust the paper guide against the stack of print media without bending the stack.
