Print media tasks and tips
5Close the paper cover.
Loading print media into the priority feeder
The priority feeder is located at the front of the printer, just above Tray 1. Use the priority feeder to make quick runs of print media types or sizes that are not currently loaded in Tray 1.
For information on acceptable print media and quantity for use in the priority feeder, see Types of print media on page 46. Using only specified print media helps prevent jams and print quality problems.
1Adjust the guides to the width of the print media.
2Place selected print media, with side to be printed face up, at the center of the priority feeder, resting on the Tray 1 paper cover.
3Push selected print media into the printer until the print media stops.
Note: Do not force print media into the feeder. Forcing media causes jams.
•Insert envelopes with flap side down and
return address first. The stamp area will feed through last.
• Hold transparencies by the edges, and avoid touching the print side. Oil from fingers can affect print quality.
• Load letterhead face up, top of sheet first.
