How do I load media?
Take off the top and bottom sheets of a 
ream of paper. Holding a stack of approx
-
imately 200 sheets at a time, fan the 
stack to prevent static buildup before 
inserting it in a tray.
Do not fan transparencies.
Note
Although this printer was designed for printing on a wide range of 
media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media 
type except plain paper. Continuous printing on media other than plain 
paper (such as envelopes, labels, thick stock, or transparencies) may 
adversely affect print quality or reduce engine life.
When refilling media, first remove any media remaining in the tray. Stack it 
with the new media, even the edges, then reload it. 
Do not mix media of different types and sizes, as this will cause media mis-
feeds.
Tray 1 (Multipurpose Tray)
