Load the paper stack with the printable side faceup.
When loading letterhead or prepunched paper, do either of the following:
For one‑sided printing
- Load letterhead faceup with the header toward the back of the tray.
- Load prepunched paper faceup with the holes against the left side of the tray.
For two‑sided printing
- Load letterhead facedown with the header toward the back of the tray.
- Load prepunched paper facedown with the holes against the right side of the tray.
Notes:
- Do not slide paper into the tray.
- Make sure that the stack height is below the maximum paper fill indicator. Overfilling may cause paper jams.
