Printing guide
Get the most out of your printer by properly loading the
trays and setting the types and sizes. Never mix paper
types within a tray.
Note: Paper Size does not need to be adjusted
when auto size sensing is enabled. Auto
size sensing is enabled by default for
printer trays, but is not available for the
multipurpose feeder.
Loading paper
Your printer supports a wide variety of paper types,
sizes, and weights. Both standard and optional trays
are marked with stack height letters A, B, and C.
The following table lists stack heights to use when
loading the paper trays.
To help prevent jams:
• Flex all stacks
of print media
back and forth
to loosen them,
and then fan them before loading. Do not fold or
crease the print media. Straighten the edges of
the stack on a level surface.
• Do not exceed the maximum stack height.
Overfilling may cause jams.
