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 80 for more information.
Priority input slot
The priority input slot holds up to ten 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.

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.
