Loading originals and print media_37

In the multi-purpose tray
The multi-purpose tray can hold special sizes and types of print material,
such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page
printing on letterhead or colored paper.

Tips on using the multi-purpose tray

• Load only one size of print media at a time in the multi-purpose tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in
the multi-purpose tray. This also applies to other types of print
media.
• Print media should be loaded face down with the top edge going into
the multi-purpose tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.
• Always load only the specified print media to avoid paper jams and
print quality problems. (See "Selecting print media" on page 32.)
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading
them into the multi-purpose tray.
To load paper in the multi-purpose tray:
1. Open the multi-purpose tray and unfold the multi-purpose tray
extension, as shown.
2. If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to
separate the pages before loading.
For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the
print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems.
3. Load the paper.
Place the side to be printed facing down.
