							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.
Linking and Unlinking Trays
Linking trays
Tray linking is useful for large print jobs or multiple copies. When one linked tray is empty, paper feeds from
the next linked tray. When the Paper Size and Paper Type settings are the same for any trays, the trays are
automatically linked. The Paper Size setting for the multipurpose feeder must be set manually from the
Paper Size menu. The Paper Type setting must be set for all trays from the Paper Type menu. The Paper
Type menu and the Paper Size menu are both available from the Paper Size/Type menu.
Unlinking trays
Unlinked trays have settings that are  not the same as the settings of any other tray.
To unlink a tray, change the following tray settings so that they do not match the settings of any other tray:
Paper Type (for example: Plain Paper, Letterhead, Custom Type )
Paper Type names describe the paper characteristics. If the name that best describes your paper is
used by linked trays, assign a different Paper Type name to the tray, such as Custom Type , or
define your own custom name.
Paper Size (for example: letter, A4, statement)
Load a different paper size to change the Paper Size setting for a tray. Paper Size settings for a tray
and the multipurpose feeder must be set manually from the Paper Size menu.
NOTICE: Do not assign a Paper Type name that does not accurately describe the type of paper loaded
in the tray. The temperature of the fuser varies according to the specified Paper Type. Paper may not
be properly processed if an inaccurate Paper Type is selected.

In Windows environments, network printers can be configured for direct printing or shared printing. Both
network printing methods require the installation of the printer software and the creation of a network
printer port.
Supported Printer Drivers
Custom drivers are available on the  Software and Documentation CD.
Supported Network Printer Ports Microsoft ®
 Standard TCP/IP port-Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2,
Windows Vista™, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000
Printer network ports-Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista,
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000
For basic printer functionality, install printer software, and use a system network printer port, such as a  Line
Printer Remote  (LPR) or a standard TCP/IP port. The printer software and port let you maintain a consistent
user interface for use with all the printers on the network. Using a custom network port provides enhanced
functionality, such as printer status alerts.
Network Printing Options 
						

							In Windows environments, network printers can be configured for direct printing or shared printing. Both
network printing options require the installation of printer software and the creation of a network port.
IP Printing Shared Printing
Printer is connected directly to the network
using a network cable, such as an Ethernet
cable.
Printer software is typically installed on
each network computer.
Printer is connected to one of the computers on
the network using a local cable, such as a USB or
parallel cable.
Printer software is installed on the computer
attached to the printer.
During software installation, the printer is set up
to be “shared” so that other network computers
can print to it.
Direct Attachment With a Network Cable (Using a Print
Server)
A print server is any designated computer that centrally manages all client print jobs. If you are sharing your
printer in a small workgroup environment and want to control all print jobs on this network, connect the
printer to a print server.
NOTE: Print a printer settings page to get the IP address and MAC address of the printer network
adapter before setting up the network printer. For more information, see  Printing a Network Setup
Page .
