be on, off, blinking, or blinking slowly, indicating a printer status, a warning, or an error. The following
table shows the appearances of the lights.

2—Loading paper and specialty media
Setting the paper size and type
Using the Embedded Web Server
1. Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.
Notes:
- Print a network setup page or menu settings page, and then locate the IP address in the TCP/IP
section. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as
123.123.123.123.
- If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.
2. Click Settings >Paper Menu.
Using the printer settings on the computer
Depending on your operating system, access the Paper menu using the Local Printer Settings Utility or
Printer Settings.
Note: The paper size and type settings will be saved until you reset factory default settings.
Configuring Universal paper settings
The Universal paper size is a user-defined setting that lets you print on paper sizes that are not preset in
the printer menus.
Notes:
•The smallest Universal size supported in the multipurpose feeder is 76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches).
•The largest supported Universal size is 215.9 x 355.6 mm (8.5 x 14 inches).
Using the Embedded Web Server
1. Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.
2. Click Settings >Paper Menu >Universal Setup.
3. Select the unit of measure, or click Print Width or Print Length.
4. Change the setting, and then click Submit.
Using the printer settings on the computer
1. Depending on your operating system, access the Paper menu using the Local Printer Settings Utility
or Printer Settings.
2. Select the tray containing the Universal paper size, and then select Universal as the paper size.

Using the standard bin and paper stop
The standard bin holds up to 150 sheets of 20-lb paper. It collects prints facedown. The standard bin
includes a paper stop that keeps paper from sliding out the front of the bin as it stacks.
To open the paper stop, pull it so that it flips forward.
Note: Close the paper stop when moving the printer to another location.

Loading trays
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of equipment instability, load each tray
separately. Keep all other trays closed until needed.
1. Pull out the tray completely.
Note: Do not remove trays while a job prints or while the following light sequence appears on the
printer control panel. Doing so may cause a jam.

2. Squeeze, and then slide the width guide tab to the correct position for the size of the paper you are
loading.

3. Unlock the length guide. Squeeze, and then slide the length guide tab to the correct position for the
size of the paper you are loading.
Notes:
- For some paper sizes like letter, legal, and A4, squeeze and slide the length guide tab backward
to accommodate their length.
- When loading legal-size paper, the length guide extends beyond the base leaving the paper
exposed to dust. To protect the paper from dust, you can purchase a dust cover separately.
- If you are loading A6-size paper in the standard tray, then squeeze and slide the length guide tab
toward the center of the tray to the A6-size position.
- Make sure the width and length guides are aligned with the paper size indicators on the bottom of
the tray.

4. Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the paper.
Straighten the edges on a level surface.
5. Load the paper stack.
Note: Make sure the paper is below the maximum fill indicator located on the side of the width guide.
Notes:
- Load with the printable side facedown when using recycled or preprinted paper.
- Load prepunched paper with the holes on the top edge toward the front of the tray.
- Load letterhead facedown, with the top edge of the sheet toward the front of the tray. For two-
sided printing, load letterhead faceup with the bottom edge of the sheet toward the front of the
tray.

Quick Reference

6. Insert the tray.
7. From the Embedded Web Server or your computer, set the paper size and type in the Paper menu to
match the paper loaded in the tray.
Notes:
- If the printer is not connected to a network, then access the Paper menu using Local Printer
Settings Utility or Printer Settings, depending on your operating system.
- Set the correct paper size and type to avoid paper jams and print quality problems.
Loading the multipurpose feeder
Use the multipurpose feeder when printing on different paper sizes and types or specialty media, such as
card stock, transparencies, paper labels, and envelopes. You can also use it for single-page print jobs on
letterhead.
1. Open the multipurpose feeder.

Quick Reference

3. Prepare the paper or specialty media for loading.
- Flex sheets of paper back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the
paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
- Hold transparencies by the edges. Flex the stack of transparencies back and forth to loosen them,
and then fan them. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
Note: Avoid touching the printable side of the transparencies. Be careful not to scratch them.
- Flex the stack of envelopes back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Straighten the
edges on a level surface.
4. Load the paper or specialty media.
Notes:
- Do not force paper into the multipurpose feeder. Overfilling may cause paper jams.
- Make sure the paper or specialty media is below the maximum paper fill indicator located on the
paper guides.

Quick Reference
- 18 -
- Load paper, transparencies, and card stock with the recommended printable side faceup and the
top edge entering the printer first. For more information on loading transparencies, see the
packaging the transparencies came in.
- Load letterhead faceup with the top edge entering the printer first. For two-sided (duplex) printing,
load letterhead facedown with the bottom edge of the sheet entering the printer first.
- Load envelopes with the flap on the left side facedown.
Warning—Potential Damage: Never use envelopes with stamps, clasps, snaps, windows,
coated linings, or self-stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer.

5. From the Embedded Web Server or from your computer, set the paper size and type in the Paper
menu to match the paper loaded in the multipurpose feeder.
Note: Depending on your operating system, access the Paper menu using Local Printer Settings
Utility or Printer Settings.
Linking and unlinking trays
When the paper size and paper type for any trays are the same, the printer will link those trays. When
one linked tray becomes empty, paper will feed from the next linked tray. It is recommended to give all
unique paper, such as letterhead and different colored plain papers, a different custom type name so that
the trays they are in will not automatically link.
Linking and unlinking trays
Using the Embedded Web Server
1. Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.
Notes:
- Print a network setup page or menu settings page, and then locate the IP address in the TCP/IP
section. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as
123.123.123.123.
- If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.
2. Click Settings >Paper Menu.
3. From the Tray Configuration section, select a tray, and then change the paper size and type settings.
- To link trays, make sure the paper size and type for the tray match that of the other tray.
- To unlink trays, make sure the paper size or type for the tray does not match that of the other tray.
4. Click Submit.
Using the printer settings on the computer
Depending on your operating system, access the Paper menu using the Local Printer Settings Utility or
Printer Settings.

Quick Reference

Warning—Potential Damage: Paper loaded in the tray should match the paper type assigned in the
printer. The temperature of the fuser varies according to the specified paper type. Printing issues may
occur if settings are not properly configured.
Configuring a custom paper type name
Using the Embedded Web Server
1. Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.
Notes:
- Print a network setup page or menu settings page, and then locate the IP address in the TCP/IP
section. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as
123.123.123.123.
- If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.
2. Click Settings >Paper Menu >Custom Names.
3. Select a custom name, and then type a new custom paper type name.
4. Click Submit.
5. Click Custom Types, and then verify if the new custom paper type name has replaced the custom
name.
Using the printer settings on the computer (Windows only)
Access the Custom menu using the Local Printer Settings Utility.
