Configuring Tray 2 and optional  Tray 3 for a custom paper size
The printer automatically detects many sizes of paper, but you can also configure trays for custom paper
sizes. You must specify the following parameters:
●Unit of measure (millimeters or inches)
● X dimension (the width of the page as it feeds into the printer)
● Y dimension (the length of the page as it feeds into the printer)
1Media width guides
2Media length guides
3Page width (X dimension)
4Page length (Y dimension)
Use the following procedure to configure a tray for a custom size. Once a custom size is set for a tray,
it will be retained until the media length guides are reset.
Setting a custom size in Tray 2 or optional Tray 3
1.
Open the tray and place the media face-up in the tray.
2. Set the media length guides to the appropriate non-standard position and close the tray.
3. When the tray configuration message appears, press 
.
4. Press 
 to change  ANY CUSTOM  to custom .
5. Press 
 to select  custom.
6. Press 
 or  to highlight the correct unit (either millimeters or inches).

Printing from  Tray 1 (multipurpose tray)
Tray 1 is a multipurpose tray that holds up to 100 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper or 20 envelopes. It
provides a convenient way to print envelopes, transparencies, custom-size paper, media heavier than
32 lb, or other types of media without having to unload the other trays.
Loading Tray 1
CAUTION To avoid jams, never add or remove paper from Tray 1 during printing.
1.Open Tray 1.
2.Set the side guides to the desired width.
3. Load paper in the tray with the side to be printed facing down and the top of the page facing you.
NOTE Tray 1 can hold approximately 100 sheets of standard 75 g/m2 (20 lb) office paper.
NOTEIf you are duplex printing, see Two-sided (duplex) printing  for loading instructions.

4.Adjust the side guides so that they lightly touch the paper stack but do not bend the paper.
NOTE Make sure the paper fits under the tabs on the guides and not above the load level
indicators.
Printing envelopes from Tray 1
Many types of envelopes can be printed from Tray 1. Up to 20 envelopes can be stacked in the tray.
Printing performance depends on the construction of the envelope.
In the software, set margins at least 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edge of the envelope.
CAUTION Envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, exposed self-stick
adhesives, or other synthetic materials can severely damage the printer. To avoid jams and
possible printer damage, never try to print on both sides of an envelope. Before you load
envelopes, make sure they are flat, undamaged, and not stuck together. Do not use envelopes
with pressure-sensitive adhesive.
Loading envelopes into Tray 1
CAUTION To avoid jams, do not remove or insert envelopes during printing.
1.Open Tray 1.
ENWW Configuring input trays 87
 
						

							
2.Load up to 20 envelopes in the center of Tray 1 with the side to be printed facing down and the
postage end toward the printer. Slide the envelopes into the printer as far as they will go without
forcing them.
3.Adjust the guides to touch the envelope stack without bending the envelopes. Make sure the
envelopes fit under the tabs on the guides.
Printing envelopes
1.Specify Tray 1 or select the media source by size in the printer driver.
2. If your software does not automatically format an envelope, specify Landscape for page orientation
in your software application or printer driver. Use the following guidelines to set margins for return
and destination addresses on Commercial #10 or DL envelopes.
Address typeLeft marginTop margin
Return5 mm (0.2 inch)5 mm (0.2 inch)
Destination 102 mm (4.0 inches) 51 mm (2.0 inches)
NOTE For envelopes of other sizes, adjust the margin settings appropriately.
3.Select  Print from the software application or printer driver.
Printing from Tray 2 or optional Tray 3
Tray 2 and optional Tray 3 each hold up to 500 sheets of standard paper or a 50.8 mm (2 inch) stack
of labels. Tray 2 stacks above the optional 500-sheet Tray 3, and, when properly installed, the printer
detects optional Tray 3 and shows it as an option in the control panel  CONFIGURE DEVICE menu. The
trays adjust for detectable media sizes; letter, legal, A4, A5, JIS B5, and executive; and undetectable
88 Chapter 4   Printing tasks ENWW
 
						

							
media sizes: 8.5 x 13 and Executive (JIS), double Japan postcard, and custom. The printer automatically
detects the media size in these trays based on the tray’s paper guide configuration. (See 
Supported
media weights and sizes.)
CAUTIONThe paper path for optional Tray 3 passes through Tray 2. If Tray 2 is partially pulled
out or removed, media from optional Tray 3 cannot feed into the printer. The printer will stop and
generate a message that Tray 2 must be installed. Similarly, all installed trays that are above the
tray that is being used must be closed in order for paper to feed into the printer.
Loading detectable standard-sized  media into Tray 2 and optional
Tray 3
NOTE If media is loaded in optional Tray 3 when the printer is in sleep mode, the printer will
not sense new media when it comes out of sleep mode. This could cause the printer to use wrong
paper for a print job. Be sure to wake the printer before loading media in optional Tray 3.
The following detectable standard-sized media is supported in Tray 2 and optional Tray 3: letter, legal,
executive, A4, A5, and (JIS) B5.
CAUTION Do not print cardstock, envelopes, heavy or extra heavy paper, or unsupported sizes
of media from the 500-sheet trays. Print on these types of media only from Tray 1. Do not overfill
the input tray or open it while it is in use. Doing so can cause jams in the printer.
1. Remove the tray from the printer.
NOTE After sliding the tray out, lift the tray up slightly to remove it.

2.Adjust the rear media-length guide by squeezing the guide adjustment latch and sliding the back
of the tray to the length of the media being used.
3.Slide the media-width guides open to the size for the media you are using.
4.Load media into the tray face up.
NOTE For best performance, load the tray completely full without splitting or fanning the
ream of paper. Splitting or fanning the ream might cause a multi-feed problem, which could
result in a paper jam. The capacity of the paper tray can vary. For example, if you are using
75 g/m
2 (20 lb) paper, the tray holds a full ream of 500 sheets. If the media is heavier than
75 g/m2 (20 lb), the tray will not hold a full ream, and you must reduce the number of sheets
accordingly. Do not overfill the tray because the printer might not pick up the paper.
NOTE If the tray is not properly adjusted, the printer might display an error message or
the media might jam.
NOTE If you are duplex printing, see 
Two-sided (duplex) printing  for loading instructions.

6.If the configuration is correct, press  to clear the message.
Loading undetectable standard-sized media into Tray 2 and optional
Tray 3
CAUTION If media is loaded in optional Tray 3 when the printer is in sleep mode, the printer
will not sense new media when it comes out of sleep mode. This could cause the printer to use
wrong paper for a print job. Be sure to wake the printer before loading media in optional Tray 3.
Undetectable standard-sized media sizes are not marked in the tray, but are listed in the  Size menu for
the tray.
The following undetectable standard-sized media is supported in the 500-sheet trays: executive (JIS),
8.5 x 13, double Japan postcard, and 16K.
CAUTION Do not print cardstock, envelopes, heavy or extra heavy paper, or unsupported sizes
of media from the 500-sheet trays. Print on these types of media only from Tray 1. Do not overfill
the input tray or open it while it is in use. Doing so can cause paper jams.
