    Adjust the Paper Stop
    For printing stacks of large paper only, 
    the paper stop on the top output bin 
    prevents long paper from being pushed 
    over the edge of the printer. 
    1Push in the center of the paper stop 
    to release it.
    2Pull the paper stop out until it stops.
    3Flip up the end section.
    4Adjust the paper stop to the desired 
    size.

    Loading Tray 1
    Note
    To avoid paper jams, do not load trays 
    while the printer is printing.
    Tray 1 is a multi-purpose tray that holds 
    a variety of paper, including up to 
    100 sheets of paper, 10 envelopes, or 
    20 index cards. The printer might pull 
    paper from Tray 1 first. To change this, 
    see page 58. For suppor ted sizes of 
    paper, see page A-3.
    1Open Tray 1 and pull out the tray 
    extension.
    2If the paper being loaded is longer 
    than 9 in (229 mm), flip open the 
    second tray extension. 
    3Set the side guides to the desired 
    size.
    4Load Tray 1. Paper should fit under 
    the arrows and tabs on the guides. 
    For correct orientation, see 
    page 41.
    For example, load letter, A4, A5, 
    Executive, and B5 size paper with 
    the long edge toward the printer.
    Load other sizes of paper with the 
    short edge toward the printer.
    5Make sure the guides touch the 
    edges of the paper without bending 
    it.

    Loading Tray 2/Optional 250-Sheet Tray
    The following instructions are for 
    loading Tray 2 or an optional 250-sheet 
    paper tray. For supported sizes of 
    paper, see page A-4.
    Note
    To avoid paper jams, do not load trays 
    while the printer is printing.
    1Pull the tray completely out of the 
    printer. Lift the tray cover.
    2Rotate the dial in the tray so the 
    printer will read the correct size of 
    paper. The toggle switch accesses 
    more sizes. An error message will 
    appear in the control panel display if 
    the dial is not set properly.
    Note
    Setting the dial adjusts the printer’s 
    sensors. It does not adjust the guides 
    inside the tray.
    3Make sure the paper size setting 
    matches the size of paper loaded, or 
    the printer might jam or other errors 
    might occur.
    4Tilt the blue rear guide toward the 
    front of the tray to detach it.
    Continued on the next page.

    5Align the rear guide with the desired 
    paper size. With the guide angled 
    slightly toward the front of the tray, 
    insert the two front tabs (A) into the 
    appropriate holes. Push the guide 
    upright, snapping the center tab (B) 
    into place.
    The guide must always be placed 
    correctly in the tray (even for 11 x 17 
    or A3 paper).
    6Adjust the side guides to the proper 
    size.
    7Load the tray. For correct 
    orientation, see page 41.
    8Make sure the paper is flat in the tray 
    at all four corners and below the tabs 
    on the guides. 
    9Close the tray cover. Slide the tray 
    back into the printer.
    Note
    If you want to print by type and size of 
    paper from the printer driver, configure 
    the tray settings in the printer’s control 
    panel to match the type of paper loaded 
    in each tray (page 60).

    Loading the 500-Sheet Tray (Optional)
    The following instructions are for 
    loading standard sizes in a 500-sheet 
    tray (optional). For supported sizes of 
    paper, see page A-5. To load 
    custom-sizes, see page 50.
    Note
    To avoid paper jams, do not load trays 
    while the printer is printing.
    1Pull the tray completely out of the 
    printer and place it on a flat surface.
    2Squeeze the release on the back of 
    the rear paper guide. Slide the guide 
    to the desired paper size.
    3Squeeze the release on the outside 
    of the left guide and adjust the left 
    and right guides to match the width 
    of the paper. The guides should 
    touch the paper without bending it.
    4Load the tray. For correct 
    orientation, see page 41.
    5Make sure the paper is flat in the tray 
    at all four corners and below the tabs 
    on the guides.
    Continued on the next page.

    6aWhen loading a full stack of 
    media, continue to step 6B. 
    Otherwise, proceed to step 7.
    6bAlign the tension lever up or down 
    to match the symbol displayed in 
    the tension indicator window.
    7To prevent jams, rotate the dial in the 
    tray so the printer will read the 
    correct size of paper. The toggle 
    switch accesses more sizes. An 
    error message will appear in the 
    control panel display if the dial is not 
    set properly.
    8Slide the tray into the printer.
    Note
    If you want to print by type and size of 
    paper from the printer driver, configure 
    the tray settings in the printer’s control 
    panel to match the type of paper loaded 
    in each tray (page 60).

    Printing Both Sides of Paper 
    (Optional Duplexer)
    The printer can automatically print on both sides of paper with an 
    optional duplex printing accessory (duplexer). This is called 
    duplexing. To order optional accessories, see page 8.
    NoteSee the documentation included with the duplexer for complete 
    installation and setup instructions. Duplexing might require 
    additional memory (page C-1).
    The duplexer supports sizes from 5.8 by 8.3 inches (148 by 
    210 mm) to 11.7 by 17 inches (297 by 432 mm).
    Prepunched paper should be printed in a rotated direction for 
    2-sided printing (page 47).

    Guidelines for Printing Both Sides of Paper
    CautionDo not print on both sides of labels, transparencies, envelopes, 
    vellum, or paper heavier than 28 lb (105 g/m2). Damage to the 
    printer and paper jamming might result.
    WARNING!To avoid personal injury and damage to the printer, do not lift the 
    printer with the duplexer installed. Before relocating the printer, 
    separate the duplexer and optional trays from the printer.
    You might need to configure the printer driver to recognize the 
    duplexer. (See the printer software help for details.)
    To print on both sides of paper, make the selection from the 
    software or printer driver. (See the printer software help.)
    If the printer driver does not have this option, change the Duplex 
    setting from the Paper Handling Menu in the printer’s control panel 
    to DUPLEX=ON. Also in the Paper Handling Menu, set Binding to 
    long edge or short edge. (For more information, see page 39.)
    Be sure that Tray 2 is in place with its cover down. (The paper 
    passes over this cover when duplexing.)
    Close the rear output bin to use the duplexer (page 26). Opening 
    the rear output bin disables the duplexer.
     
    						
    							ENChapter 2:  Printing Tasks 37
    Separating the Printer from the Duplexer
    Before you lift the printer, always separate the printer from the 
    duplexer.
    1Slide the rear section of the duplexer away from the printer.
    2Lift the printer off the duplexer.

    Paper Orientation for Printing Both Sides of Paper
    The duplexer prints the second side of paper first, so paper such as 
    letterhead, prepunched, and preprinted paper need to be oriented 
    as shown in Figure 10. 
    Figure 10   Paper Orientation for Printing Both Sides of Paper
    For Tray 1, load the first side facing down.
    Load letter, A4, A5, Executive, and B5 paper with the top, short 
    edge toward the right.
    Load other sizes with the top, short edge toward the printer.
    For all other trays, load the first side facing up.
    Load letter, A4, A5, Executive, and B5 paper with the top, short 
    edge toward the right.
    Load other sizes with the top, short edge toward the front of the 
    tray.
