							Loading paper and specialty media
This section explains how to load the 250-, 500-, and 2000-sheet trays, and the multipurpose feeder. It also includes
information about paper orientation, setting the Paper Size and Paper Type, and linking and unlinking trays.
Setting the Paper Size and Paper Type
The Paper Size setting is determined by the position of the paper guides in the tray for all trays except the multipurpose
feeder. The Paper Size setting for the multipurpose feeder must be set manually. The factory default Paper Type setting
is Plain Paper. The Paper Type setting must be set manually for all trays that do not contain plain paper.
