Using and loading the multipurpose
feeder
Your printer has a multipurpose feeder that holds several sizes and types of print media. It is located on
the front of your printer and can be closed when you are not using it. Reserve the multipurpose feeder
for when you print on different sizes and types of print media, such as card stock, transparencies,
postcards, note cards, and envelopes. You can load a stack of print media, or you can load single
sheets you do not keep in a tray.
If the printer displays a light sequence indicating you should load the multipurpose feeder, load the
print media, and then press and release Continue. If you load a single sheet, the light sequence is
displayed again to prompt you to load the next sheet. See Load the multipurpose feeder for more
information.
See page 20 of Print media sources and specifications for a listing of supported types and sizes.
Note: When printing from the multipurpose feeder, be sure to set the Paper Size and
Paper Type.
Follow these guidelines when using the multipurpose feeder:
• Load only one size and type of print media at a time.
• To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality print media that is designed for
use in laser printers. See Print media guidelines for information on selecting types of print
media.
• To prevent jams, do not add print media to the multipurpose feeder when it already contains
print media.
• Do not close the multipurpose feeder while a job is printing or while Ready/Data blinks on the
operator panel. Doing so may cause a jam.
• Load print media with the top edge going into the multipurpose feeder first.
• Do not place objects on the multipurpose feeder. Also, avoid applying excessive force to it.
