3. Paper information
Loading paper
Use this procedure to load paper in any paper tray.
NOTE: Many suppliers use arrows on the paper ream labels to 
indicate the preferred side to image first. Use this side (as 
indicated by the arrow) as equivalent to the seam side when 
loading the paper.
NOTE: Opening the paper tray may cause the Tray Properties 
window to open automatically.  This depends on whether or not 
the user has this option selected; refer to page 2-5 of this guide for 
more information.
1. Pull out the tray slowly until it stops.
2. Load the correct size paper into the tray in the correct 
feeding orientation.
• Load the paper seam side (the side on which the ream 
of paper is sealed) up in all the trays.
• Do not load materials above the MAX line located on the 
rear Edge Guide.
• Do not store extra reams of paper in the open area of the 
paper trays. The tray will become inoperable until the 
paper is removed.
3. Adjust the paper guides by pressing in the guide release 
and carefully moving the Edge Guide until it lightly touches 
the edge of the material in the tray.
4. From the Tray Properties window, enter the correct paper 
information, including size, type, and weight.
5. Select OK to save the information and close the Tray 
Properties window.
6. Close the paper tray.
• All the trays have auto size detection capability.  The 
loaded paper size, weight, type, and orientation is 
displayed on the UI screen once the tray is closed.
• Selecting the correct paper weight range affects the 
throughput performance and image quality.
• Refer to the table on page 3-12 to convert pounds to 
grams.
