Setting the paper size and type
From the home screen navigate to:
> Paper Menu > Paper Size/Type > select a tray > select the paper
size or type >
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 supported Universal size is
70 x 127 mm (2.76 x 5 inches) for one‑sided printing and
105 x 148 mm (4.13 x 5.83 inches) for two‑sided (duplex)
printing.
2

•The largest supported Universal size is 216 x
356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches) for one‑sided and two‑sided printing.
1From the home screen, navigate to:
> Paper Menu > Universal Setup > Units of Measure > select
a unit of measure
2Touch Portrait Width or Portrait Height.
3Select the width or height, and then touch .
Loading the 250 and 550‑sheet tray
The printer has one 250-sheet tray (Tray 1) with an integrated manual
feeder. The 250-sheet tray, the 650-sheet duo tray, and the 550-sheet
tray support the same paper sizes and types and are loaded in the same
way.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of
equipment instability, load each tray separately. Keep all trays
closed until needed.
1Pull out the tray completely.
Note: Do not remove trays while a job is printing or while Busy
appears on the display. Doing so may cause a jam.
2If the paper is longer than letter‑size paper, then push the length
guide tab at the back of the tray to extend it.

Note: Use the paper size indicators on the bottom of the tray to
help position the guides.
5Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them. Do not fold or crease
the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface.

6Load the paper stack with the recommended printable side faceup.
7Place the paper guides securely against the edges of the paper.
8Insert the tray.
9From the printer control panel, set the paper size and type in the
Paper menu to match the paper loaded in the tray.
Note: Mixing paper sizes or types in a tray may cause jams.
Loading the 650‑sheet duo tray
The 650‑sheet duo tray (Tray 2) consists of a 550‑sheet tray and an
integrated 100‑sheet multipurpose feeder. The tray is loaded in the
same way as the 250‑sheet tray and the optional 550‑sheet tray, and
supports the same paper types and sizes. The only differences are the
look of the guide tabs and the location of the paper size indicators.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of
equipment instability, load each tray separately. Keep all other
trays closed until needed.

4Prepare the paper for loading.
•Flex sheets of paper back and forth to loosen them. Do not fold
or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
•Hold transparencies by the edges. Straighten the edges on a
level surface.
Note: Avoid touching the printable side of transparencies.
Be careful not to scratch them.
•Flex a stack of envelopes back and forth to loosen them.
Straighten the edges on a level surface.
Warning—Potential Damage: Never use envelopes with
stamps, clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, or self‑stick
adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the
printer.
5Locate the maximum paper fill indicator and tab.
Note: Make sure the paper or specialty media is below the
maximum paper fill indicator located on the paper guides.

•Load paper, card stock, and transparencies with the
recommended printable side facedown and the top edge
entering first.
•Load envelopes with the flap side up and against the right side
of the paper guide.
Notes:
•Do not load or close the multipurpose feeder while a job is
printing.
•Load only one size and type of paper at a time.
•Paper should lie flat in the multipurpose feeder. Make sure
the paper fits loosely in the multipurpose feeder and is not
bent or wrinkled.
7From the printer control panel, set the paper size and type in the
Paper menu to match the paper loaded in the tray.
Loading the manual feeder
The standard 250‑sheet tray has an integrated manual feeder that can
be used to print on different types of paper one sheet at a time.
1Load a sheet of paper into the manual feeder:
•Printable side facedown for one-sided printing
5

•Printable side faceup for two‑sided (duplex) printing
Note: There are different ways for loading letterhead depending
on the mode of printing.
One‑sided printing using a
letterhead
Two‑sided printing using a
letterhead

ABC
•Load envelope with the flap side up and against the right side
of the paper guide.
2Feed paper into the manual feeder only to the point where its
leading edge can contact the paper guides.
Note: To achieve the best possible print quality, use only
high‑quality media designed for laser printers.
3Adjust the paper guides to the width of the paper loaded.
Warning—Potential Damage: Do not force the paper into the
feeder. Forcing the paper may cause jams.
Linking and unlinking trays
When the paper size and paper type for two trays are the same, the
printer will link those trays. When one linked tray becomes empty,
paper will feed from the next linked tray. We recommend giving all
unique paper, such as letterhead and different colored plain papers, a
different custom type name so that the trays will not automatically link.
Linking and unlinking trays
1Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the
address field.
Notes:
•View the printer IP address on the printer home screen. 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.
2Click Settings > Paper Menu.
3Change the paper size and type settings for the trays you are linking.
•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.
4Click Submit.
Note: You can also change the paper size and type settings using the
printer control panel. For more information, see “Setting the paper
size and type” on page 2.
Warning—Potential Damage: Paper loaded in the tray should match
the paper type name 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.
