3When loading paper in the MP tray, make sure it touches the 
back of the tray.
When printing envelopes and labels you should only use the 
multi-purpose tray.
Make sure that the paper is straight and in the proper position 
on the MP tray. If it is not, the paper may not be fed properly, 
resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam.

User-friendly programming
Your MFC is designed to be easy to use with LCD on-screen 
programming using the navigation keys. User-friendly programming 
helps you take full advantage of all the menu selections your MFC 
has to offer.
Since your programming is done on the LCD, we have created 
step-by-step on-screen instructions to help you program your MFC. 
All you need to do is follow the instructions as they guide you through 
the menu selections and programming options. 
Menu table
You can probably program your MFC without the User’s Guide. But 
to help you understand the menu selections and options that are 
found in the MFC programs, use the Menu table on page 3-4.
Memory Storage
If there is a power failure, you will not lose your menu settings 
because they are stored permanently. Temporary settings (such as 
Contrast, Overseas Mode, and so on) will be lost. You may also have 
to reset the date and time.
On-screen programming
You can program your MFC by pressing Menu followed by the 
menu numbers. 
For example to set  Fax Resolution  to Fine :
Press 
Menu, 2, 2, 2 and   or   to select  Fine.
Press 
Set.
