Loading trays

 CAUTION—TIPPING HAZARD: To reduce the risk of equipment instability, load each tray separately. Keep all other trays closed until needed.

1. Remove the tray.

   Note: To avoid paper jams, do not remove trays while the printer is busy.
   

2. Adjust the guides to match the size of the paper that you are loading.

   Note: Use the indicators on the bottom of the tray to position the guides.
   

3. Flex, fan, and align the paper edges before loading.

   

4. Load the paper stack with the printable side faceup, and then make sure that the side guides fit snugly against the paper.

   

   Notes:

   • Load letterhead faceup with the header toward the front of the tray for one-sided printing.
   • Load letterhead facedown with the header toward the back of the tray for two-sided printing.
   • Do not slide paper into the tray.
   • To avoid paper jams, make sure that the stack height is below the maximum paper fill indicator.
   

5. Insert the tray.

   If necessary, set the paper size and paper type from the control panel to match the paper loaded.
