Loading the multipurpose feeder
The multipurpose feeder can hold several sizes and types of paper, such as transparencies and
envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on letterhead, colored paper, or other specialty media.
Refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide for more information on paper types and sizes.
You can use the multipurpose feeder one of two ways:
• Paper tray—Load paper or other print media in the feeder with the intention of leaving the
media in the feeder.
• Manual bypass feeder—Send a print job to the feeder while specifying the type and size of
media from your computer. The printer then prompts you to load the appropriate print media
before it prints.
