Quick Reference
Loading paper and
specialty media
This section explains how to load the 550-sheet tray, an optional
2,000-sheet tray, a multipurpose feeder, and an optional 550-sheet
specialty media drawer. It also includes information about paper
orientation, setting the Paper Size and Paper Type, and linking and
unlinking trays.
Setting the paper size and type
The Paper Size setting is automatically sensed according to the
position of the paper guides in each tray except the multipurpose
feeder. The Paper Size setting for the multipurpose feeder must be
set manually from the Paper Size menu. The Paper Type setting must
be set manually for all trays that do not contain plain paper.
From the home screen navigate to:
> Paper Menu > Paper Size/Type > select a tray > select the
paper size or type >
The factory default Paper Type setting is Plain Paper.
Configuring Universal paper
settings
The Universal Paper Size is a user-defined setting that lets you print
on paper sizes that are not preset in the printer menus. Set the Paper
Size for the specified tray to Universal when the size you want is not
available from the Paper Size menu. Then, specify all of the following
Universal size settings for your paper:
• Units of Measure
• Portrait Width
• Portrait Height
Notes:
• The largest supported Universal size is 216 x 1219 mm
(8.5 x 48 in.).
• The smallest supported Universal size is 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.)
and loaded in the multipurpose feeder only.
From the home screen, navigate to:
> Paper Menu > Universal Setup > Units of Measure > select
unit of measure > Portrait Width or Portrait Height > select width
or height >
Loading the standard or optional
550-sheet tray
The printer has one standard 550-sheet tray (Tray 1), and may have
one or more optional 550-sheet trays. All 550-sheet trays support the
same paper sizes and types.
1 Pull the tray out.
Notice the size indicators on the bottom of the tray. Use these
