Tray 1
Tray 1 is accessed from the front of the product. The product prints from Tray 1 before trying to print
from other trays.
Media guides ensure that the media is correctly fed into the product and that the print is not skewed
(crooked on the media). When loading media, adjust the media guides to match the width of the media
that you are using.
