Loading standard or optional 500-sheet trays
Your MFP has two 500-sheet standard trays. You may have also purchased an optional 2x500-sheet drawer which has two 
additional 500-sheet trays. Print media is loaded into all the 500-sheet trays the same way.
Note:The steps for loading the optional 2000-sheet dual input trays and the 2000-sheet high capacity 
feeder are different than the steps for loading a 500-sheet tray.
To load print media:
Note:Do not remove a tray when a job is printing or when the operator panel indicator light is blinking. Doing 
so may cause a jam.
