Paper Tray Tips

Keep these tips in mind when you load paper in a tray:

•Place the printable side of the paper face-down in the tray. If you’re using preprinted paper, such as letterhead or forms, load it with the top edge leading into the printer.

•Load paper before you send your print job. If the paper runs out during a print job, you can have the printer automatically switch to the other tray.

To have the printer switch automatically, the paper size and media type levers must be set the same for both trays, or the levers must be set to Other on the lower tray.

•If you’re using thick paper or if ink smears on the printout, set the media type lever to Thick Paper.

•Press the Eject button if you need to remove a sheet of paper.
