Printing guide
Get the most from the printer by properly loading the trays and properly setting the types and sizes of media.
Loading the standard or optional 550-sheet tray
The printer has one standard 550-sheet tray (Tray 1), and may have one or more optional 550-sheet trays. All 550-sheet trays
support the same paper sizes and types.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of equipment instability, load each paper drawer or tray separately. Keep
all other drawers or trays closed until needed.
1Pull the tray out.
Notice the size indicators on the bottom of the tray. Use these indicators to help position the length and width guides.

Notes:
•Place the print side facedown for duplex printing.
•Place pre-punched paper with the holes toward the front of the tray.
•Place letterheads faceup with the header on the left side of the tray.
•Place letterheads facedown with the header on the right side of the tray for duplex printing.
•Make sure the paper is below the maximum fill line located on the edge of the paper tray. Overloading the tray can cause
paper jams and possible printer damage.
6Insert the tray.
7From the printer control panel, verify the Paper Size and Paper Type for the tray based on the paper you loaded.
Setting the paper size and type
The Paper Size setting is automatically sensed according to the position of the paper guides in each tray except the multipurpose
feeder. The Paper Size setting for the multipurpose feeder must be set manually from the Paper Size menu. The Paper Type
setting must be set manually for all trays that do not contain plain paper.
From the home screen navigate to:
> Paper Menu > Paper Size/Type > select a tray > select the paper size or type >
The factory default Paper Type setting is Plain Paper.
