Selecting the Output Location
The printer has two output locations: the face-up output slot and the face-down output
tray. You can select the output location by changing the position of the output lever on the
front of the printer. To use the face-down output tray, be sure the output lever is in upper
(normal) position. To use the face-up output slot, push the output lever down.
• If paper coming out of the face-down output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try
printing to the face-up output slot.
• To avoid paper jams, do not change the position of the output lever while printing.
The face-down output tray collects paper
in face-down order. To use, make sure
the output lever is in the upper position.
(If it is not, push it up)
The face-down output tray should be
used for most print jobs and is
recommended when printing large jobs.
The printer prints to the face-up output
slot if open. Push the output lever down
to open the slot. Paper will come out of
the printer face-up.
Using the face-up output slot might
improve output quality with the following:
• envelopes
• labels
• Transparency films
• paper heavier than 24 lb (90 g/m

)

Loading Paper
The automatic input tray holds 150 sheets of paper and five
sheets of special media. See “Media Sizes and Capacities” on
page 4.2 for acceptable paper size and capacities for each
input tray.
Load a stack of paper into the automatic input tray and print.
For details on loading paper in the automatic input tray, see
“Loading Paper” on page 2.4.
Note: Before using the automatic input tray, you must remove
the paper from the manual input tray.
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and insures
trouble-free printing. Do not remove paper from the tray(s)
while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam.
Using the Automatic Input Tray
If you select Manual in the Paper Source option, you can manually load paper in the
manual
input tray
. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print
quality after each page is printed.
If you experience a paper jam from the automatic
input tray,
load one sheet of paper at a
time into the manual
input tray
.
Note: To avoid a paper jam, use the manual tray with the automatic input tray loaded with
paper.
