Hints

▼For the best print quality, load only paper in the PAPER tray and transparencies in the TRANSPARENCY tray.

▼If you have the Lower Tray Assembly installed, insert the TRANSPARENCY tray only into the upper (A) or middle (B) tray slots for the most reliable media-picking.

▼When printing a large number of sheets of paper or transparency, use the media-speciﬁc trays for best reliability.

▼When using specialty media, always use the Multi-Purpose Feeder (D).
