Loading Paper Loading the 250-Sheet and 550-Sheet Paper Trays Loading the Manual Feeder Using the Rear Exit Loading the 250-Sheet and 550-Sheet Paper Trays Follow these instructions to load paper in the 250-sheet and 550-sheet paper trays. 1. Remove the tray. 2 . If you are loading legal or folio size paper, you must adjust the paper tray to accommodate the larger paper. a. Press down on the latch at the back of the tray. b . Expand the tray until the extender locks into place. c . Move the rear paper guide to the back of the paper tray.
3. Flex a stack of paper back and forth. Straighten the edges on a level surface. 4 . Load the paper in the tray with the print side facing down. Ensure that the paper is below the max fill line on the side paper guides. Overloading may cause paper jams. 5 . Slide the two side guides and the rear guide until they rest against the edges of the paper. 6 . Replace the tray.
7. Extend the paper support on the output bin. Loading the Manual Feeder The manual feeder is located at the front of your printer and can only feed one sheet of print media at a time. You can use the manual feeder to make quick runs of paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the paper tray. To load the manual feeder: 1. Place a sheet of the selected print media, print side facing up, at the center of the manual feeder, but only to the point where its leading edge can contact the paper guides. Otherwise, the printer engages the print media too soon and likely skews the print job. 2 . Adjust the paper guides to the print medias width. 3 . Hold both sides of the print media close to the manual feeder, and push it into the printer until it automatically engages. There is a brief pause between the time the printer engages the print media and when it feeds into the printer. Insert envelopes with the flap side facing down and with the stamp area as shown. Hold transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oil from your fingers that is deposited on the transparency can affect print quality. NOTICE:
Load letterhead facing up, with the top of the sheet entering the printer first. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Using the Rear Exit The single -sheet rear exit provides a straight-through paper path to help reduce curling and potential jams. This is especially useful for specialty media, such as transparencies, envelopes, labels, card stock, or index cards. To use the rear exit, open the rear exit door. When the rear exit door is open, all print jobs come out the rear exit. When closed, all print jobs are sent to the output bin on top of the printer.
