Setting the Paper Tray Levers

For best printing results, you need to set the media type and paper size levers correctly when you load paper. You should also use the media type and paper size cards to identify the paper loaded in each tray. This helps all users to be aware of what’s in the printer at a glance, and also prevents anyone from inadvertently changing the lever positions.
