feeder and manual feeder.

multipurpose feeder and manual feeder.

Loading the 250 and 550‑sheet tray
The printer has one 250-sheet tray (Tray 1) with an integrated manual feeder. The 250-sheet tray, the 650-sheet duo
tray, and the 550-sheet tray support the same paper sizes and types and are loaded in the same way.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of equipment instability, load each tray separately. Keep all
trays closed until needed.
1 Pull out the tray completely.
Note: Do not remove trays while a job is printing or while Busy appears on the display. Doing so may cause a
jam.
