Print media

Loading trays

Your printer has two standard sources, the 250-sheet tray (standard tray) and the multipurpose feeder. For more information, see Loading and using the multipurpose feeder. Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the standard 250-sheet tray.

Proper print media loading helps prevent jams and helps make your printing trouble-free.

Before loading print media, know the recommended print side of the print media you are using. This information is usually indicated on the print media package.

Do not remove trays while a job prints. Doing so may cause a jam.

The following instructions work for loading the standard tray or the tray for the optional 250-sheet drawer.

Your printer has one standard 250-sheet tray.

For the sizes and types of print media these trays support, see Print media source specifications.

To load the tray for the optional 500-sheet drawer, see Loading the optional 500-sheet tray.
