The paper level indicator on the front of the paper tray shows 
the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is 
empty, the indicator of the bar is completely lowered.
To load paper, pull open the paper tray and load paper with the 
side to be printed on face down.
You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down. 
The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the 
front of the tray.
For details about loading paper in the paper tray, see “Loading 
Paper” on page 2.7.
If you want to load a different sized paper, you need to adjust 
the paper guides. For details, see page 2.9.
NOTES: 
• If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at a 
time in the Bypass tray.
• You can load up to 150 sheets of previously printed paper. The 
printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the 
front. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper 
around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.

In the Bypass Tray
The Bypass tray can hold several sizes and types of print 
material, such as transparencies, postcards, note cards, and 
envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on letterhead or 
colored paper. You can load approximately 50 sheets of plain 
paper, 5 envelopes, 5 transparencies, 5 sheets of card stock, or 
5 labels at a time.
To load print material in the Bypass tray:
1Lower the Bypass tray and unfold the paper support 
extension, as shown. 
2If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper 
stack to separate the pages before loading.
For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid 
touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause 
print quality problems.

3Load the print material with the side to be printed on 
facing up
.
For envelopes, load them with the flap side down and with 
the stamp area on the top left side.
NOTES: 
• If envelopes jam while printing, try reducing the number of 
envelopes in the Bypass tray.
• If you want to print on previously printed paper from the Bypass 
tray, the printed side should be facing down.
4Squeeze the width guide and adjust it to the width of the 
print material without bending it.
5After loading paper, you need to set the paper type and size 
for the Bypass tray. See page 2.21 for copying and faxing 
or page 4.6 for PC-printing.
NOTE: The settings made from the printer driver override the 
settings on the control panel.

6If you want the machine to stack the printed pages on the 
rear output slot, open the rear door to use the rear output 
slot.
CAUTION: Make sure to open the rear output slot when you print 
on transparencies. If not, they may tear while exiting the machine.
7After printing, fold away the paper support extension and 
close the Bypass tray.
Using the Manual Feed Mode
You can manually load a sheet of print material in the Bypass 
tray if you select 
Manual Feed in the Source option from the 
Paper tab when you change print settings to print a document. 
For details about changing print settings, see page 4.6. 
Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check 
print quality after each page is printed. 
This loading procedure is almost the same as the procedure for 
loading in the Bypass tray, except you load paper sheet-by-
sheet in the tray, send print data to print the first page, and 
press 
Enter on the control panel to print each following page.
1Lower the Bypass tray and unfold the paper support 
extension.

Tips on Using the Bypass Tray 
• Load only one size of print material at a time in the Bypass 
tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still 
paper in the Bypass tray. This also applies to other types of 
print materials.
• Print materials should be loaded face up with the top edge 
going into the Bypass tray first and be placed in the center of 
the tray.
• Always load only the print materials specified in the 
Specifications on page E.6 to avoid paper jams and print 
quality problems.
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before 
loading them into the Bypass tray.
• When you print on 76 mm x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.) sized media 
on the Bypass tray, open the rear door to use the rear output 
slot.
• Make sure to open the rear door when you print on 
transparencies. If not, they may tear while exiting the 
machine.

Selecting an Output Location
The machine has two output locations: the rear output slot (face 
up) and the front output tray (face down). 
To use the front output tray, make sure that the rear door is 
closed. To use the rear output slot, open the rear door.
NOTES:
• If paper coming out of the front output tray has problems, such 
as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output slot.
• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear door while the 
machine is printing.
Printing to the Front Output Tray (Face down)
The front output tray collects printed paper face down, in the 
order in which the sheets were printed. The tray should be used 
for most print jobs.

Printing to the Rear Output Slot (Face up)
Using the rear output slot, paper comes out of the machine 
face up.
Printing from the Bypass tray to the rear output slot provides a 
straight paper path. Using the rear output slot might improve 
the output quality with the following:
•envelopes
•labels
• small custom-sized paper
•postcards
• transparencies
To use the rear output slot:
1Open the rear door by pulling it upward. 
CAUTION: The fuser area inside the rear door of your machine 
becomes very hot when in use. Take care not to burn your fingers 
when you access this area.
