Loading the multipurpose feeder
You can use the multipurpose feeder one of two ways:
Paper tray—As a paper tray, you can load paper 
or specialty media in the feeder with the intention 
of leaving the media in the feeder.
Manual bypass feeder—As a manual bypass 
feeder, you can send a print job to the feeder 
while specifying the type and size of media from 
your computer. The printer then prompts you to 
load the appropriate print media before it prints.
To load the multipurpose feeder:
1 Open the 
multipurpose feeder.
2 Squeeze the paper 
guide lever and slide 
the guide all the way 
toward the front of 
the printer.
3 Flex the sheets back 
and forth to loosen 
them, and then fan 
them. Do not fold or 
crease the print 
media. Straighten the 
edges of the stack on 
a level surface.
4 Arrange the stack of 
paper or specialty media correctly for the size, 
type, and print method you are using.
5 Place the paper or 
specialty media, print 
side up, along the left 
side of the 
multipurpose feeder, 
and then push it in as 
far as it will easily go.
Do not force the 
media.
Note: Do not 
exceed the maximum stack height. 
Overfilling the feeder may cause jams.
6 Squeeze the paper 
guide lever and slide 
the guide until it lightly 
touches the side of the 
stack.
7 If you are loading a 
different type of media 
than was previously 
loaded in the tray, 
change the Paper Type 
setting for that tray on the operator panel.
