Load paper trays

CAUTION: If you try to print on media that is wrinkled, folded, or damaged in any way, a jam might occur. See Clear jams on page 73 for more information.

Priority feed slot

The priority feed slot holds up to 10 sheets of media or one envelope, one transparency, or one sheet of labels or cardstock. Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed on facing up. To prevent jams and skewing, always adjust the side media guides before feeding the media.

Input tray

The input tray holds 150 pages of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper, or fewer sheets of heavier media (a 15 mm (0.6 in) stack height or less).

Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed on facing up. To prevent jams and skewing, always adjust the side and front media guides.

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