1 Click a topic to go directly to specific loading instructions Loading media 1 Loading paper, card stock, or labels Loading transparencies Loading envelopes The procedures for loading paper in the standard 250-sheet tray and the optional 500-sheet tray are the same. The printer lets you know when you need to load paper in the trays. If a tray becomes empty, the Supplies message appears on the second line of the operator panel. Press Menu> or <Menu to open the Supplies Menu. Scroll through the supplies list to determine which supply(s) need attention. The menu indicates whether a tray is missing or empty. When you change the paper in the tray, make sure the paper guides are in the correct positions. The position of the paper guides informs the printer of the size paper loaded in the tray. Feeding paper when the paper guide is not in the correct position may result in misfeeds or paper jams.

2 Loading media 2 If you load a different type of media such as card stock or labels, change the Paper Type setting in the Paper Menu. Selecting the correct paper type guarantees optimal print quality for that media. See Media guidelines for information about the changes the printer makes for specific media. For more information about changing the Paper Type setting, see Changing menu settings or refer to the Setup Guide. The paper size and the paper type also must be set correctly for tray linking to work as expected. See Tray linking for more information about tray linking. Your printer is set at the factory so it can automatically sense when A4, letter, executive media or B5, DL, and #10 envelopes are loaded in tray1. If you want to use paper sizes that are not automatically sensed or if you install an optional legal tray to print on legal size paper, you must change the Auto Size Sense setting to Off. See Paper size sensing for more information about changing the Auto Size Sense setting.
