Loading media into the input trays
The following sections describe how to load media into the different input trays.
CAUTION
If you try to print on media that is wrinkled, folded, or damaged in any way, a jam might
occur. See
Printer media considerations for more information.
Priority feed slot
The priority feed slot holds one sheet of media up to 163 g/m
2
(43 lb) or one envelope,
transparency, or cardstock. Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed
facing up. To prevent jams and skewing, always adjust the side media guides before feeding
the media.
150-sheet main input tray
The input tray holds up to 150 pages of 75 g/m
2
(20 lb) paper or fewer pages of heavier
media of 25 mm (0.9 inches) or less stack height. Load media with the top forward and the
side to be printed facing up. To prevent jams and skewing, always adjust the side and front
media guides.
NOTE
When you add new media, make sure that you remove all of the media from the input tray
and straighten the stack of new media. This helps prevent multiple sheets of media from
feeding through the printer at one time, reducing media jams.
