To load tray 1
CAUTION
Avoid adding print media to tray 1 while the printer is printing, or jams can occur.
1Open tray 1.
2 Slide out the tray extender. If the print media being loaded is longer than 229 mm (9 inches), also open the additional tray extender.
3Slide the width guides slightly wider than the print media.
4 Place print media into the tray with the side to be printed up, and the top, short edge in first.
Note
If you are manually duplexing, see “Printing on both sides (duplexing manually)” on page 48 for loading instructions.
5 Slide the paper width guides inward until they lightly touch the print media stack on both sides without bending it. Make sure the print media fits under the tabs on the width guides.
CAUTION
Wait for the printer to finish printing before closing tray 1 (optional).
Closing the tray before the printer finishes can cause jams.
6 On the back of the printer, lower the rear output door if you are printing on special media, such as labels, envelopes, or heavy or light paper, to prevent curl.
