Loading

Load media into the internal paper trays

Each internal paper tray 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 printer does not change the loaded media settings.

When you load envelopes in an internal paper tray, you need the envelope guide.

CAUTION

When you handle paper, take care not to cut your hands at 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.

Before you begin

  • Check and prepare the media.

  • Awake the print system from sleep mode if applicable.

Procedure

Action

1

Grip the handle and pull out the paper tray until it stops.

2

Loosen the knobs.

3

Slide the paper guides to match the media size you want to load.

IMPORTANT

Slide the guides until they click into place. This prevents a paper jam, poor print quality and dirty machine parts.

4

Place the media stack against the right site of the paper tray.

IMPORTANT

Make sure the loaded the media stack does not exceed the loading limit mark ( or for envelopes).

5

Tighten the knobs.

6

Gently close the paper tray and make sure it clicks into place.

CAUTION

When you close the paper tray, be careful not to get your fingers caught. This can cause personal injury.

After you finish

  • 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. Take a new stack for these media.

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