Printing guide
Get the most out of your printer by properly loading the trays and setting the types and sizes. Never mix media types within a tray.
Note: Paper Size cannot be adjusted when auto size sensing is enabled. Auto size sensing is enabled by default for printer trays, but is not available for the multipurpose feeder.
Load paper or other print media
To help prevent jams:
•Flex all stacks of print media back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them before loading. Do not fold or crease the print media. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.
•Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling may cause jams.
•Never remove paper trays while a print job is printing. It could damage the tray or the printer.
