Setting the paper size and type
The Paper Size setting is automatically sensed according to the position of the paper guides in each tray except the
multipurpose feeder. The Paper Size setting for the multipurpose feeder must be set manually from the Paper Size
menu. The Paper Type setting must be set manually for all trays that do not contain plain paper.
From the home screen navigate to:
 > Paper Menu > Paper Size/Type > select a tray > select the paper size or type > Submit
Configuring Universal paper settings
The Universal Paper Size is a user‑defined setting that lets you print on paper sizes that are not preset in the printer
menus. Set the Paper Size for the specified tray to Universal when the size you want is not available from the Paper
Size menu. Then, specify all of the following Universal size settings for your paper:
Units of Measure
Portrait Width
Portrait Height
Notes:
The largest supported Universal size is 216 x 1219 mm (8.5 x 48 in.).
The smallest supported Universal size is 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.) and loaded in the multipurpose feeder only.

Loading the standard or optional 550‑sheet tray

trays support the same paper sizes and types. Loading paper and specialty media61 
						

							CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of equipment instability, load each paper drawer or tray
separately. Keep all other drawers or trays closed until needed.

							Loading the multipurpose feeder
The multipurpose feeder can hold several sizes and types of print media, such as transparencies, labels, card stock, and
envelopes. It can be used for single-page or manual printing, or as an additional tray.
The multipurpose feeder can hold approximately:
100 sheets of 75‑g/m2 (20‑lb) paper
10 envelopes
75 transparencies
The multipurpose feeder accepts paper or specialty media within the following dimensions:
Width—89 mm (3.5 in.) to 229 mm (9.02 in.)
Length—127 mm (5 in.) to 1270 mm (50 in.)
Note: Maximum width and length can be applied only to short-edge feeding.
Note: Do not add or remove paper or specialty media when the printer is printing from the multipurpose feeder or
when the printer control panel indicator light is blinking. Doing so may cause a jam.
1Pull down the multipurpose feeder door.
2For paper or specialty media that is longer than letter-size paper, gently pull the extension until it is fully extended.
3Flex the sheets of paper or specialty media back and forth to loosen them. Do not fold or crease them. Straighten

Warning—Potential Damage: Pulling the paper out, without pushing the paper pick tab first, may cause jams or
the paper pick tab to break.
Load paper and transparencies with the recommended print side facedown and the short edge entering the
printer first.
For duplex letterhead printing, place the letterhead faceup and the header entering the printer last. Loading paper and specialty media68 
						

							Load envelopes with the flap side up and to the right.
Warning—Potential Damage: Never use envelopes with stamps, clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, or
self‑stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer.
Notes:
Do not exceed the maximum stack height by forcing paper or transparencies under the stack height limiter.
Load only one size and type of paper at a time.
5Adjust the width guide to lightly touch the edge of the stack. Make sure the paper or specialty media fits loosely in
the multipurpose feeder, lies flat, and is not bent or wrinkled.
6From the printer control panel, set the Paper Size and Paper Type for the multipurpose feeder (MP Feeder Size and
MP Feeder Type) based on the paper or specialty media loaded.
Linking and unlinking trays
Linking trays
Tray linking is useful for large print jobs or multiple copies. When one linked tray is empty, paper feeds from the next
linked tray. When the Paper Size and Paper Type settings are the same for any trays, the trays are automatically linked.
The printer automatically senses the Paper Size setting according to the position of the paper guides in each tray except
the standard 550‑sheet tray and the multipurpose feeder. The printer can sense A4, A5, JIS B5, Letter, Legal, Executive,
and Universal paper sizes. The multipurpose feeder and trays using other paper sizes can be linked manually using the
Paper Size menu available from the Paper Size/Type menu. Loading paper and specialty media69 
						

							Note: To link the multipurpose feeder, Configure MP must be set to Cassette in the Paper menu in order for MP
Feeder Size to appear as a menu item.
The Paper Type setting must be set for all trays from the Paper Type menu available from the Paper Size/Type menu.
Unlinking trays
Note: Trays that do not have the same settings as any other tray are not linked.
Change one of the following tray settings:
Paper Type
Paper Type names describe the paper characteristics. If the name that best describes your paper is used by linked
trays, assign a different Paper Type name to the tray, such as Custom Type [x], or define your own custom name.
Paper Size
Load a different paper size to automatically change the Paper Size setting for a tray. Paper Size settings for the
multipurpose feeder are not automatic; they must be set manually from the Paper Size menu.
Warning—Potential Damage: Do not assign a Paper Type name that does not accurately describe the type of paper
loaded in a tray. The temperature of the fuser varies according to the specified Paper Type. Prints may not be
properly processed if an inaccurate Paper Type is selected.
Linking exit bins
Link exit bins to create a single output source. The printer automatically uses the next available bin as the output source.
The standard exit bin holds up to 550 sheets of 20‑lb paper. If you need additional output capacity, you can purchase
other optional exit bins.
Note: Not all exit bins support every paper size and type.
1From the home screen, navigate to:
 > Paper Menu > Bin Setup
2Touch the bin or bins you want to link, and then touch Configure Bins > Link.
Creating a custom name for a paper type
If the printer is on a network, you can use the Embedded Web Server to define a name other than Custom Type [x] for
each of the custom paper types loaded into the printer.
1Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser.
Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then you can:
View the IP address on the printer control panel in the TCP/IP section under the Networks/Ports menu.
Print a network setup page or the menu settings pages and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section.
2Click Settings > Paper Menu > Custom Name > type a name > Submit.
Note: This custom name will replace the Custom Type [x] name under the Custom Types and Paper Size and
Type menus.
3Click Custom Types > select a paper type > Submit. Loading paper and specialty media70
