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 specifications for more information.
Single-sheet priority input slot (Tray 1)
The single-sheet priority input slot holds one sheet of media up to 163 g/m
2
(43 lb) or one
envelope, transparency, or card. 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.
Note
When feeding media into the single-sheet priority input slot, the printer pulls the media
partially into the engine and waits for you to press the G
O
button (blinking light). You must
wait for the printer to stop before feeding another sheet of media. You can only feed one
sheet of media at a time.
250-sheet input tray (Tray 2 or optional Tray 3)
The input tray holds up to 250 pages of 75 g/m
2
(20 lb) paper or fewer pages of heavier
media (25 mm (0.9 in) or less stack height). Load media with the top forward and the side to
be printed facing down. To prevent jams and skewing, always adjust the side and rear 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.
