Loading the multipurpose feeder
The multipurpose feeder can hold several sizes and types of print media, such as transparencies, 
postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It can be used for single-page or manual printing or as an 
additional tray.
Note:If you install an optional envelope feeder, you can still use the multipurpose feeder.
The multipurpose feeder can hold approximately:
100 sheets of 75 g/m
2 (20 lb) paper 
10 envelopes 
75 transparencies
The multipurpose feeder accepts print media within the following dimensions:
Width—69.85 mm (2.75 in.) to 215.9 mm (8.5 in.) 
Length—127 mm (5 in.) to 355.6 mm (14 in.)

on letterhead (or other preprinted media) that has been loaded specifically for duplex printing by 
changing the value in the Paper Loading menu.

feeder or when the control panel indicator light is blinking. Doing so may cause a 
jam.

Flex the sheets or envelopes back and forth to loosen them, then fan them. Do not fold or 
crease the print media. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
Note:Hold transparencies by the edges, and avoid touching the print side. Fan the stack 
of transparencies to prevent jams. Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on 
the transparencies.
5Load the media in the tray.
Use the stack height label as a guide for stack height when loading print media.
Loading paper, transparencies, or envelopes
Note:Letterhead or other preprinted paper must be loaded differently depending on the 
options you have installed.
Load paper or transparencies with the left edge of the stack against the stack height label 
and with the recommended print side facing up.
Load envelopes flap side down with the stamp area and flap on the left. The end of the 
envelope with the stamp area enters the multipurpose feeder first.
–Never use envelopes with stamps, clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, or self-
stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the MFP.
Note:Load only one size and type of print media at a time in the multipurpose feeder. Do 
not mix sizes and types in the same tray.

Slightly bend the stack of print media as shown, and place it on the elevator tray with the 
preferred print side facing down. Align the stack of print media to the back of the drawer.
Note:For duplex printing, letterhead or other preprinted paper must be loaded differently.
Carefully align each stack as you load it to ensure a smooth edge where the stacks meet. Do 
not load print media above the load line.
Note:When loading more than one ream of paper, we recommend you remove the top 
and bottom sheet.

other configurations also must have a printer stand or printer base. More
