the operator panel, MarkVision, or the printer driver before sending the job to print.

•If you are printing a job using manual feed, send the job to the printer and then wait for the Load Manual message to appear on the display before you place media in the multipurpose feeder.

•Print transparencies only after warming the printer by printing a job on paper (such as the menu set- tings page you can print from the Tests Menu).

The procedure for loading paper in all the trays (the stan- dard 250-sheet tray and the optional 250-sheet trays) is the same. Refer to the Setup Guide for detailed instructions.

The printer lets you know when you need to load paper in the trays. If a tray has less than 50 sheets of paper, the Supplies status message appears on the display. Press Menu> or <Menu to open the Supplies Menu, and then scroll through the list of supplies that need attention. The menu indicates whether a tray is missing, low on paper, or empty.

When you change the paper in the tray, make sure the paper guides are in the correct positions. The position of the rear paper guide informs the printer of the size paper loaded in the tray. Feeding paper when the rear paper guide is not in the correct position may result in misfeeds or paper jams.

If you load a different type of media, change the Paper Type setting in the Paper Menu. Selecting the correct paper type guarantees optimal print quality for that media. See “Media guidelines” on page 74 for information about the changes the printer makes for specific media. For more information about changing the Paper Type set- ting, see page 18 or refer to the Setup Guide.

The paper size and the paper type also must be set cor- rectly for tray linking to work as expected. See page 82 for more information about tray linking.
