Loading Paper In Tray 1

Caution: If you change the type of paper in a tray, you must change the paper type and size on the front panel to match the paper that you loaded. If you fail to do this, print-quality problems can occur and the fuser can be damaged.

Pull the tray completely out of the printer.

If loading paper having a different width or length, adjust the width and length guides.

Extend the tray to accommodate legal or US Folio (legal 13) paper by moving the release tabs to the sides of the tray and pulling out on the front of the tray. Contract the tray by moving the release tabs to the sides of the tray and pushing in the front of the tray.

Load the paper, transparencies, or other specialty media in the tray. Do not load above the indicated fill line.

Note: Do not load paper, transparencies, or specialty media above the indicated fill lines inside the tray. Only use flat paper, transparencies, or specialty media. If frequent jamming occurs with card stock or heavier paper that is less than 175 mm (7 in.) long, reduce the number of sheets in the tray.

Slide the side guide firmly against the paper or other specialty media.

Insert the tray into the printer slot, and push it completely to the back of the printer.

Confirm or change the paper size and type when prompted by the front panel.
