							Loading paper and specialty media
This section explains how to load the 250- and 550-sheet trays, and the manual feeder. It also includes information
about setting the paper size and paper type.
Setting the paper size and paper type
Ensure that the settings for the trays reflect the size and type of paper loaded in the trays. The factory default paper
type setting is plain paper, so the paper type setting must be set manually for all trays that do not contain plain paper.
If the printer is connected to a computer by a USB or parallel cable, use one of the following utilities to access the
Paper menu, depending on your operating system:
On a Windows computer, access the Paper menu through the Local Printer Settings Utility.
On a Macintosh computer, access the Paper menu through the Printer Settings.
Note: The Paper Size and Type settings will be saved until you reset factory default settings. If you would like to
override the Paper Size and Type settings for a special print job, do one of the following:
For Windows users, click File ΠPrint, and then click Properties, Preferences, Options, or Setup.
For Macintosh users, choose File > Print, and then adjust the settings from the print dialog and pop-up menus.
Configuring Universal paper settings
The Universal Paper Size is a user-defined setting that lets you print on paper sizes that are not preset in the printer
menus. Defining a specific height and width measurement for the Universal paper size, in the portrait orientation,
allows the printer to support the size. Specify all of the following Universal size settings for your paper:
Units of measure (inches or millimeters)
Portrait Width
Portrait Height
Note: The smallest supported Universal size is 76.2 x 127 mm (3  x 5 in.); the largest is 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 in.).
If the printer is connected to a computer by a USB or parallel cable, open the Local Printer Settings Utility for
Windows or Printer Settings for Macintosh. One of these utilities installs with your printer software. Under the
Paper menu, select Universal in the Paper Size selection box for the tray that will contain the Universal paper.
Loading the standard 250-sheet tray
The printer has two trays to select from: the standard tray (Tray 1), also known as the 250-sheet tray, and either the
optional 250-sheet tray or the optional 550-sheet tray (Tray 2). Only one optional drawer (which includes an optional
tray) may be attached to the printer at a time.

							Proper paper loading prevents jams and facilitates trouble-free printing.
1Pull the tray completely out.
Do not remove trays while a job prints or when the Busy light sequence appears on the printer control panel.
Doing so may cause a jam.

2Squeeze the width guide tabs, and then slide them to the sides of the tray. The width guides move in unison.
3Squeeze the length guide tabs together, and then slide the length guide to the correct position for the paper size
being loaded.

							If you are loading a longer size of paper like A4 or legal, squeeze the length guide tabs and slide the length guide
backwards to the position for the length of paper you are loading. The tray extends backwards.
If you are loading A6-size paper:
aSqueeze the length guide tabs together as shown, and slide the length guide toward the center of the tray
to the A6 size position.
bRaise the A6 length guide.
Note: The standard tray accommodates only 150 sheets of A6-size paper.
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.
5Load the paper stack toward the back of the tray as shown with the recommended print side facedown.
Note: Notice the maximum fill line. Do not try to overload the tray. Do not load A6-size paper to the maximum
fill line; the tray holds only 150 sheets of A6-size paper.

							7Insert the tray.
8If a different type of paper was loaded than the type previously loaded in the tray, change the Paper Type setting.
For more information, see “Setting the paper size and paper type” on page 55.
Note: The difference between the standard 250-sheet tray and the optional 250- and 550-sheet trays is that the
standard tray accommodates up to 150 sheets of A6-size paper, so the width guides slide farther to the center of the
tray.
Loading the optional 250- or 550-sheet tray
Only one optional drawer, which includes either a 250- or 550-sheet tray, may be attached to the printer at a time.
Regardless of the number of sheets in the optional tray, it is referred to as Tray 2.
1Pull the tray completely out.
2See “Loading the standard 250-sheet tray” on page 55 to complete the steps for loading a tray. An optional tray
is loaded in the same way that the standard tray is loaded.

Using the manual feeder
The manual feeder is located inside the manual feeder door of the printer and can feed only one sheet of paper at a
time. You can use the manual feeder to quickly print on paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the tray.
1Open the manual feeder door.
