Tray 1 is a multi-purpose tray that holds up to 100 sheets of paper, 10 envelopes, or 20 index cards. The printer’s default is to pull paper from tray 1 first. To change this, see “Customizing tray 1 operation” on page 69.

Tray 1 provides a convenient way to print envelopes, transparencies, custom-size paper, or other types of media without having to unload the other trays. It can also be used just as a convenient additional input tray. For supported sizes of paper, see “Supported sizes and weights of paper” on page 189.

Note

To avoid paper jams, do not load trays while the printer is printing.

1Open tray 1.

2Pull out the tray extension.

3Set the side guides to the desired width.

4Load paper in the tray.

Note

Make sure the paper fits under the tabs on the guides and not above the load level indicators.

Generally, load paper with the side to be printed up, and the top, short edge toward the printer. For information on loading special paper, see “Printing special paper” on page 53.

5Adjust the side guides so that they lightly touch the paper stack but do not bend the paper.
