Get the most out of your printer by properly loading the 
trays and setting the types and sizes. Never mix paper 
types within a tray.

Note: Paper Size does not need to be adjusted 

when auto size sensing is enabled. Auto 
size sensing is enabled by default for 
printer trays, but is not available for the 
multipurpose feeder.

Your printer supports a wide variety of paper types, 
sizes, and weights. Both standard and optional trays 
are marked with maximum stack height indicators.

To help prevent jams:

•

Flex all stacks 
of print media 
back and forth 
to loosen them, 
and then fan them before loading. Do not fold or 
crease the print media. Straighten the edges of 
the stack on a level surface.

•

Do not exceed the maximum stack height. 
Overfilling may cause jams.

1 Remove the tray and place it on a flat, level 

surface.

2 Squeeze the 

front guide lever 
and slide the 
guide to the 
front of the tray.

3 Squeeze the 

side guide lever 
and slide the 
guide to the 
correct position 
for the size 
paper you are loading.

4 Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, 

and then fan them. 

Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the 
edges of the stack on a level surface.

5 Place the paper in the tray as shown, print side 

down.

Do not load bent or wrinkled paper.

Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack 

height. Overfilling the tray may cause 
jams.

6 Squeeze the front 

guide lever and slide 
the guide until it 
firmly touches the 
stack of paper.

7 Reinstall the tray.

Make sure the tray is 
pushed completely 
into the printer.
