Open the Bypass Tray. If the tray is loaded with paper, remove any paper that is a different size or type.

Note: For larger paper sizes, pull out the extension tray.

Move the width guides to the edges of the tray.

Flex the sheets back and forth and fan them, then align the edges of the stack on a level surface. The procedure separates any sheets that are stuck together and reduces the possibility of jams.

Note: To avoid jams and misfeeds, do not remove paper from its packaging until you are ready to use it.

Load the paper in the tray.

For long-edge feed printing:

Load letterhead and pre-printed paper face up with the top edge toward the front.

Load hole-punched paper with the holes to the right.

For short-edge feed printing:

Load letterhead and pre-printed paper face up with the top edge to the right.

Load hole-punched paper with the holes toward the rear.

Note: Do not load paper above the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause paper jams.

Adjust the width guides until they touch the edges of the paper.

At the control panel, select the correct paper size, type,and color.

If letterhead paper is loaded in the printer, for type, select Letterhead.

If pre-printed paper is loaded in the printer, for type, select Pre-printed.
