• Load paper, card stock, and transparencies with the
recommended printable side facedown and the top edge
entering the printer first.
• Load envelopes with the flap side up and against the right side
of the paper guide.
Notes:
• Do not load or close the multipurpose feeder while a job is
printing.
• Load only one size and type of paper at a time.
• Paper should lie flat in the multipurpose feeder. Make sure
the paper fits loosely in the multipurpose feeder and is not
bent or wrinkled.
7 From the printer control panel, set the paper size and type in the
Paper menu to match the paper loaded in the tray.
Linking and unlinking trays
When the paper size and paper type for any trays are the same, the
printer will link those trays. When one linked tray becomes empty,
paper will feed from the next linked tray. We recommend giving all
unique paper, such as letterhead and different colored plain papers, a
different custom type name so that the trays they are in will not
automatically link.
Linking and unlinking trays
1 Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the
address field.
Notes:
• View the printer IP address on the printer home screen. The
IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by
periods, such as 123.123.123.123.
• If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to
load the Web page correctly.
2 Click Settings > Paper Menu.
3 Change the paper size and type settings for the trays you are linking.
• To link trays, make sure the paper size and type for the tray
match that of the other tray.
• To unlink trays, make sure the paper size or type for the tray
does not match that of the other tray.
4 Click Submit.
Note: You can also change the paper size and type settings using the
printer control panel. For more information, see “Setting the paper
size and type” on page 5.
Warning—Potential Damage: Paper loaded in the tray should match
the paper type name assigned in the printer. The temperature of the
fuser varies according to the specified paper type. Printing issues
may occur if settings are not properly configured.
