Loading Media in the Multi-purpose Tray

The multi-purpose (MP) tray serves as an additional tray for loading any type of media that ranges in size from 91 mm × 254 mm to 216 mm × 356 mm (3.6≤ × 10≤ to 8.5≤ × 14≤ inches). Use it to load a single sheet or a stack of media, depending on the media’s type and thickness.

Use the multi-purpose tray to accomplish the following:

Print on standard and special media

•Standard media

Plain paper [75 to 165 g/m2 (20 to 44 lbs.)]

•Special media

Label, transparency, card stock, coated paper, or the reverse side of printed paper (The print quality may not be stable. Use the media tray for best reliability.)

Setting media thickness switch

Because the printer accommodates various media weights from the multi-purpose tray, media thickness can be manually selected for the most reliable paper-picking. Follow these steps:

1 Open the left side cover ( (1) ). The green media thickness switch is located on the paper feeder and has three settings:

	(1)
		Thin	Thick
2		Middle
	Move the switch to the desired setting.
	Switch setting		Media
	Thin (Default)	Laser paper 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs.)
	Middle	Laser paper 91 to 123 g/m2 (25 to 32 lbs.)
		Transparency, Label, Coated paper
	Thick	Laser paper 124 to 165 g/m2 (33 to 44 lbs.)
3	Close the left side cover.

Selecting a multi-purpose tray mode

The multi-purpose tray has two different ways of feeding media: Cassette, and First modes. For details on selecting a mode, refer to page 46.
