LOADING PAPER IN THE TRAY

You can purchase an optional tray and attach it below the standard tray to
load an additional 500 sheets of plain paper (See "Available supplies" on
page 81).
Using photographic paper or coated paper may cause problems,
requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by the warranty or
service agreements.

If you experience problems with paper feeding, check whether
the paper meets the media specification. Then, try placing one
sheet at a time in the multi-purpose tray (See "Print media
specifications" on page 89).

The settings made from the machine driver override the
settings on the control panel.
Multi-purpose tray
The multi-purpose tray can hold special sizes and types of print material,
such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page
printing on letterhead or colored paper.
Print media should be loaded face down with the top edge going into
the multi-purpose tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.
Tips on using the multi-purpose tray
•
Load only one type, size and weight of print media at a time in the
multi-purpose tray.
