Selecting an Output Location
The printer has two output locations; the output tray (face down) and the rear door (face up).
To use the output tray, ensure that the rear door is closed. To use the rear door, open it.
NOTE: If paper coming out of the  output tray has problems, such as excessive curl,  try printing to the
rear door.
NOTE: To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear door while the printer is printing.
Printing to the Output Tray  (Face down)
The output tray collects printed paper face-down, in the correct order. The tray should be used for most print
jobs. 
						

							If necessary,  expand the paper output extension to keep the print media from falling off the output tray.
Printing to the Rear Door  (Face up)
Using the rear door, the paper comes out of the printer face up.
Printing from the MPF to the rear door provides a  straight paper path. Using the rear door might improve
the output quality with special materials.
To use the rear door:
Open the rear door by pulling it.
CAUTION: The fuser area inside of the rear door of your printer becomes very hot when in
use. Take care when you access this area.
Loading Print Media in the Paper Tray 
						

							You can load approximately 250 sheets of plain paper in the tray 1 or the optional tray 2.  If you purchased
the  optional tray 2 , see  Installing an Optional Tray 2
 for installing instructions. For faxing, you can use A4,
letter or legal paper only. For copying or printing, you can use many different types and sizes of paper; see
Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications
.
Follow these instructions to load print media into the tray 1 or optional tray 2. These trays are loaded the
same way.
Pull open the paper tray and load paper with the print side face down.
1.
You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down. The top edge of the sheet with the logo
should be placed at the front side of the tray.
For details about loading paper in the paper tray, see  Loading Paper
.
NOTE: If you experience problems with paper feed,  place the paper in the MPF.
NOTE: You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing up with an uncurled
edge at the front.  If you experience problems with paper feed,  turn the paper around. Note that the
print quality is not guaranteed.
Using the MPF (Multi purpose feeder)
Use the MPF to print transparencies, labels, envelopes or postcards in addition to making quick runs of paper
types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the paper tray.
Postcards, 3.5 by 5.83 in. (index) cards and other custom-sized materials can be printed with this printer.
The minimum size is 3.0 by 5.0 in. (76 by 127 mm) and the maximum size is 8.5 by 14 in. (216 by 356
mm). 
						

							Acceptable print materials are plain paper with sizes ranging from 3.0 by 5.0 in. (76 by 127 mm) to Legal,
8.5 by 14 in. (216 by 356 mm), the largest size acceptable, and weighing between 16 lb and 43 lb.
NOTE: Always load only the print materials specified in the Specifications on  Paper Specifications
 to
avoid paper jams and print quality problems.
NOTE: Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes and labels before loading them into the MPF.
To use the MPF:Open the MPF and unfold the paper support extension, as shown.
1.
If you are using paper,  flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before loading.
2.
For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers
can cause print quality problems.
Load the print material  with the side to be printed on facing up .
3. 
						

							3.
Depending on the paper type you are using, keep the following loading method:Envelopes: load them with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side.
Transparencies: load them with the print side up and the top with the adhesive strip entering the
printer first.
Labels: load them with the print size up and the top short edge entering the printer first.
Preprinted paper: load with the design face up, top edge toward the printer.
Card stock: load them with the print side up and the short edge entering the printer first.
Pre printed paper: the printed side should be facing down with an uncurled edge toward the
printer.
Squeeze the width guide and adjust it to the width of the print material. Do not force too much, or the
paper will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew.
4.
After loading paper, set the paper type and size for the MPF. See  Setting the Paper Type
 for copying
and faxing or  Paper Tab
 for Computer printing.

Tips on using the MPF Load only one size of print material at a time in the MPF.
To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the MPF. This also applies to other
types of print materials.
Print materials should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the MPF first and be placed in the
center of the tray.
Always load only the print materials specified in  Print Media Guidelines
 to avoid paper jams and print
quality problems.
Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the MPF.
When you print on 3 by 5 in. (76 by 127 mm) sized media on the MPF, open the rear door for a
straight paper path to avoid paper jams.
