Load paper
Loading the multipurpose feeder You can use the multipurpose feeder one of two ways:
•Paper tray—As a paper tray, you can load paper in the feeder with the intention
of leaving it in the feeder.
•Manual bypass feeder—As a manual bypass feeder, you send a print job to the
feeder while specifying the type and size of media from your computer. The
printer then prompts you to load the appropriate paper or specialty media before
it prints.
Follow these instructions to load the multipurpose feeder.
1Open the multipurpose feeder.
2Squeeze the paper guide lever and slide the guide all the way toward the front
of the printer.
3Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them.
Do not fold or crease the paper or specialty media. Straighten the edges of the
stack on a level surface.
4Arrange the stack of paper or specialty media correctly for the size, type, and
print method you are using.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum
stack height. Overfilling the feeder may
cause jams.
5Place the paper or specialty media print side up along the left side of the
multipurpose feeder, and then push it in as far as it will easily go.
Do not force the paper or specialty media.
6Squeeze the paper guide lever and slide the guide until it lightly touches the side
of the stack.
