Loading media into the input trays

CAUTION

Note

Main input tray

The main input tray holds up to 250 pages of 20 lb paper or fewer pages of heavier media (25 mm or less stack). Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. To prevent jams and skewing, always adjust the side and rear media guides.

Priority input tray

The priority input tray holds up to 10 pages of 20 lb paper or one envelope, transparency, or card. Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed facing up. To prevent jams and skewing, always adjust the side media guides.

If you try to print on media that is wrinkled, folded, or damaged in any way, a jam might occur. See Printer media specifications for more information.

When you add new media, make sure that you remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten the stack of new media. This helps prevent multiple sheets of media from feeding through the printer at one time, reducing media jams.
