Loading the multipurpose feeder

Pull down the multipurpose feeder door.

Note:  Do not load or close the multipurpose feeder while a job is printing.

Pull the multipurpose feeder extender.

Note:  Guide the extender gently so that the multipurpose feeder is fully extended and open.

Slide the width guide to the correct position for the size of the paper you are loading.

Note:  Use the paper size indicators on the bottom of the tray to help position the guides.

Prepare the paper or specialty media for loading.

• Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface.

• Hold transparencies by the edges, and then fan them. Straighten the edges on a level surface.


Note:  Avoid touching the printable side of the transparencies. Be careful not to scratch them.

• Flex the stack of envelopes back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Straighten the edges on a level surface.

Load the paper or specialty media.

Note:  Slide the stack gently into the multipurpose feeder until it comes to a stop.

• Load only one size and type of paper or specialty media at a time.
• Make sure the paper fits loosely in the multipurpose feeder, lies flat, and is not bent or wrinkled.

One‑sided (simplex) printing	Two‑sided (duplex) printing

For custom- or Universal- size paper, adjust the width guides to lightly touch the sides of the stack.

From the printer control panel, set the paper size and type in the Paper menu to match the paper loaded in the tray.

Note:  Set the correct paper size and type to avoid paper jams and print quality problems.
