Loading paper in the trays

Note: Do not place paper into the duplex unit tray.

The procedures for loading paper in all the trays (the standard 250-sheet tray and the optional 250-sheet trays) are 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 Supplies Menu. Scroll through the list of sup- plies that need attention. The menu indicates whether a tray is missing, low, 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 set- ting in the Paper Menu. Selecting the correct paper type guaran- tees optimal print quality for that media. See “Media guidelines” on page 98 for information about the changes the printer makes for specific media. For more information about changing the Paper Type setting, see page 22 or refer to the Setup Guide.

The paper size and the paper type also must be set correctly for tray linking to work as expected. See page 109 for more infor- mation about tray linking.
