Loading

Load media into the internal paper trays

Each of the three internal paper trays can hold up to 550 sheets (80 g/m² / 22 lb bond). The paper trays feed the media face down.

There is no sensor in the paper trays that can detect the media. After you open and close a paper tray, the print system will not change the media settings.

When you load envelopes in an internal paper tray, you need the envelope guide (Envelope Feeder Attachment-F1 ). (Load envelopes into the internal paper trays)

CAUTION

When you handle paper, be careful not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.

IMPORTANT
  • Never place paper or other objects in the empty parts of a paper tray. This can cause a paper jam.

  • Make sure you follow the instructions carefully. When you do not load the media correctly, a paper jam, dirty machine parts, or poor print quality can occur.

What to do next

  • When a paper jam occurs or you notice poor image quality, turn over the media stack and reload the media stack. Do not reload textured, single-sided coated, or already printed paper to avoid a paper jam. For these media, take a new stack.

  • Tightly rewrap the remaining media in the original package, and store the package in a dry place, away from direct sunlight or high temperatures.
