Loading the 250‑ and 550‑sheet tray

The printer has one 250-sheet tray (Tray 1) with an integrated manual feeder. The 250-sheet tray, the 650-sheet duo tray, and the 550-sheet tray support the same paper sizes and types and are loaded in the same way.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of equipment instability, load each tray separately. Keep all other trays closed until needed.

1Pull out the tray completely.

Note: Do not remove trays while a job is printing or while Busy appears on the display. Doing so may cause a jam.
