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 jams, do not remove trays while the printer is busy.
   

2. Adjust the guides to match the size of the paper 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.

   Notes:

   • For one-sided printing, load letterhead faceup with the header toward the front of the tray.
   • For two-sided printing, load letterhead facedown with the header toward the back of the tray.
   • Do not slide paper into the tray.
   • Make sure that the stack height is below the maximum paper fill indicator. Overfilling may cause paper jams.
   

5. Insert the tray.

   If necessary, set the paper size and type to match the paper loaded in the tray.
