also known as the 250-sheet tray, and either the optional
250-sheet tray or the optional 550-sheet tray (Tray 2). Only one
optionaldrawer(whichincludesanoptionaltray)maybeattached
to the printer at one time.
Notes:
•Proper paper loading prevents jams and facilitates
trouble-free printing.
•Do not remove trays while a job prints or while Busy appears
on the display. Doing so may cause a jam.
1Pull the tray completely out.
2Squeezethewidthguidetabs on the right guide as shown,and
slide the width guides to the sides of the tray. Notice that the
twowidthguidesmoveinunisonwhenyoumovejust the right

Ifyouare loading a longer size of paperlikeA4orlegal,squeeze
the length guide tab and slide the length guide backwards to
the position for the length of paper you are loading. The tray
extends backwards as shown.
If you are loading A6-size paper:
aSqueeze the length guide tab shown as follows, and slide
the length guide toward the center of the tray to the A5
size position.
bRaise the A6 backstop.
Note: The standard tray only accommodates 150 sheets of A6
paper. Notice the maximum fill line on the A6 backstop which
indicates the maximum height for loading A6 paper. Do not try to
overload the tray.

Notes:
•Notice the size indicators on the bottom of the tray. Use
these indicators to help position the guide.
•For setup, load letter- or A4-size paper based on the
standard size for your country or region.
4Flex 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.

When loading letterhead, place the top edge of the sheet
toward the front of the tray. Load the letterhead with the
design placed facedown.

loaded in the tray, change the Paper Type setting for the tray
from the printer control panel. For more information, see
“Setting the Paper Size and Paper Type” on page 5.
Note: Thedifference between the standard250-sheettrayandthe
optional 250- and 550-sheet trays is that the standard tray
accommodates A6-size paper, so the width guides slide farther to
the center of the tray. You also need to adjust the length guide
specifically created for A6.

Loading the optional 250- or
550-sheet tray
Only one optional drawer, which includes either a 250- or
550-sheettray,may be attached to theprinteratatime.Regardless
of the number of sheets in the optional tray, it is referred to as Tray
2.

completethesteps for loading a tray. An optionaltrayisloaded
in the same way that the standard tray is loaded.
3Insert the tray.
Using the multipurpose feeder
You may want to use the multipurpose feeder when you print on
different sizes and types of papers or specialty media, such as card
stock, transparencies, and envelopes. You may also want to use
the multipurpose feeder for single-page print jobs on letterhead
or on other specialty media you do not keep in a tray.
Opening the multipurpose feeder
1Grasp the handle, and pull the multipurpose feeder door
down.
2Grasp the raised handle, and pull the extension forward.

3Grasp the handle, and pull the extension so it flips forward.
4Guide the extension down gently so the multipurpose feeder
is extended fully and open.
Loading the multipurpose feeder
1Squeeze the tab located on the right width guide, and move
the guides out fully.
2Prepare the paper or specialty media for loading.
•Flex sheets of paper or paper labels back and forth to
loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the
paper or labels. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
•Hold transparencies by the edges, and then fan them.
Straighten the edges on a level surface.
Note: Avoidtouching theprintside ofthetransparencies.
Be careful not to scratch them.
•Flex a stack of envelopes back and forth to loosen them,
and then fan them. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
Note: Fanning prevents the edges of envelopes from
sticking together. It also helps them feed properly to
avoid jams. Do not fold or crease envelopes.
3Load the paper or specialty media.
Notes:
•Do not force any paper into the multipurpose feeder.
Overfilling may cause jams.
•Donotexceedthemaximum stackheightby forcingpaper
or specialty media under the stack height limiters which
are located on the guides.

location in the position shown. The stamp and address are
shown to illustrate the proper orientation for loading
envelopes.
Warning—Potential Damage: Never use envelopes
with stamps, clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, or
self-stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely
damage the printer.
4Squeeze the tab located on the right width guide to adjust the
guides to lightly touch the sides of the stack.
5Slide the paper gently into the multipurpose feeder until it
comes to a stop. Paper should lie flat in the multipurpose
feeder. Make sure the paper fits loosely in the multipurpose
feeder and is not bent or wrinkled.

Maintaining the printer
Replacing the photoconductor
kit
The printer automatically notifies you before the photoconductor
kit reaches a page maximum by showing 84 PC Kit life
warning or 84 Replace PC Kit on the display. You can also
see the status of the photoconductor kit by printing a menu
settings page.
When 84 PC Kit life warning or 84 Replace PC
Kit first appears, you should immediately order a new
photoconductor kit. While the printer may continue to function
properly after the photoconductor kit has reached its official
end-of-life, print quality significantly decreases.
Note: The photoconductor kit is one item only.
1Open the front door by pressing the button on the left side of
the printer and lowering the front door.
2Pull the photoconductor kit and toner cartridge out of the
printer as a unit by pulling on the toner cartridge handle.
Note: Thephotoconductorkit and toner cartridge form aunit.
6

Place the unit on a flat, clean surface.
3Press the button on the base of the photoconductor kit. Pull
the toner cartridge up and out using the handle.
4Unpack the new photoconductor kit. Be careful not to touch
the photoconductor drum.
5Insert the toner cartridge into the photoconductor kit by
aligning the rollers on the toner cartridge with the tracks. Push
the toner cartridge until it clicks into place.
6Install the unit into the printer by aligning the arrows on the
guides of the unit with the arrows in the printer. Push the unit
as far as it will go.
7After you replace the photoconductor kit, reset the
photoconductor counter. To reset the counter, see the
instruction sheet that came with the new photoconductor kit.
Warning—Potential Damage: Resetting the
photoconductor counter without replacing the
photoconductor may damage your printer and void your
warranty.
8Close the front door.
Replacing the toner cartridge
When 88 Cartridge is low appears, or when you
experience faded print, remove the toner cartridge. Firmly shake
it side-to-side and front-to-back several times to redistribute the
toner, and then reinsert it and continue printing. When shaking
the cartridge no longer improves the print quality, replace the
toner cartridge.
Note: You can check to see approximately how much toner is left
in your cartridge by printing a menu settings page.
7

To replace the toner cartridge:
1Open the front door by pressing the button on the left side of
the printer and lowering the door.
2Press the button on the base of the photoconductor kit, and
then pull the toner cartridge out using the handle.
3Unpack the new toner cartridge.
Warning—Potential Damage: When replacing a toner
cartridge, do not leave the new cartridge exposed to direct
light for an extended period of time. Extended light exposure
can cause print quality problems.
4Rotate the cartridge in all directions to distribute the toner.
5Install the new toner cartridge by aligning the rollers on the
toner cartridge with the arrows on the tracks of the
photoconductor kit. Push the toner cartridge in as far as it will
go. The cartridge clicks into place when correctly installed.
6Close the front door.
