CAUTION
Loading media that is too heavy for a tray, or loading certain types
of special media (such as envelopes, cards, or heavy media) in
Tray 3 can cause jams and might damage the printer. For a list of
media you can use with these trays, see “
Media and paper-handling

.”
Tips for loading media
The default size for all trays is 216 by 279 mm (8.5 by 11 inches).
For Tray 2 and Tray 3, insert media face-down with the short edge
of the paper facing the rear of the printer. To print horizontally
(landscape orientation), select landscape or short-edge print
orientation in your software application.
When loading Tray 1, position the media face-up with the left edge
of the media against the left edge of the tray. For preprinted forms
and letterhead, load the media with the top edge feeding into the
printer first.
If you purchased the optional multipurpose tray, which is installed in
the Tray 1 location, position the media face-up against the right
edge of the tray first, and then slide the media down into the tray.
Load the media print-side up. For preprinted forms and letterhead,
load the media with the top edge feeding into the printer first.
To prevent jams, load only one type of media at a time into a tray.
Also, when adding media, always remove the existing media and
realign the media width and length guides to fit the new media.
For more information about avoiding media jams, see “
Tips for
avoiding jams
.”
Always use media that conforms to the printer specifications.
