Notes:
• Use the size indicators on the bottom of the tray to help
position the guides.
• For standard paper sizes, lock the length guide.
4 Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them.
Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level
surface.
5 Load the paper:
• For single-sided printing, load the paper print side facedown
with the leading edge of the paper toward the front of the tray.
Note: For print jobs using an optional Staple Finisher, place
the leading edge of the paper toward the back of the tray.
• For two-sided or duplex printing, load the paper faceup with
the leading edge of the paper toward the back of the tray.
Note: For print jobs using an optional Staple Finisher, place
the leading edge of the paper toward the front of the tray.
Note: Notice the maximum fill line on the side of the tray which
indicates the maximum height for loading paper. Do not
overload the tray.
6 If necessary, adjust the paper guides to lightly touch the sides of
the stack, and lock the length guide for the paper sizes indicated
on the tray.
7 Insert the tray.
8 If a different type of paper was loaded than the type previously
loaded in the tray, then change the Paper Type setting for the tray
from the printer control panel.
