Loading the optional 250- or 550-sheet tray Only one optional drawer, which includes either a 250- or 550-sheet tray, may be attached to the printer at a time. Regardless of the number of sheets in the optional tray, it is referred to as Tray 2.
Using the manual feeder The manual feeder is located inside the manual feeder door of the printer and can feed only one sheet of paper at a time. You can use the manual feeder to quickly print on paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the tray.
Do not leave the paper stop in the open position if you are printing on transparencies. Doing so may cause creases in the transparencies. • When moving the printer to another location, make sure the paper stop is closed. Paper capacities The capacities of the trays and the manual feeder are based on 75 g/m...
To initiate tray linking from a networked printer, access the Embedded Web Server: Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser. Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, print a network setup page and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section.
Access the Embedded Web Server by typing the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser. Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then print a network setup page and locate the IP address in the TCP/IP section.
Changing a Custom Type <x> name If the printer is on a network, you can use the Embedded Web Server to define a name other than Custom Type <x> for each of the custom paper types that are loaded. When a Custom Type <x> name is changed, the menus display the new name instead of Custom Type <x>.
Moisture content The amount of moisture in paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper correctly. Leave paper in its original wrapper until it is time to use it. This limits the exposure of paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance.
Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer • Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser • Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ±2.3 mm (±0.9 in.), such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms...
Before using these types of paper for laser (electrophotographic) printing, consult your paper supplier. Remember that these are general guidelines only and that paper meeting these guidelines may still cause paper feeding problems in any laser printer (for example, if the paper curls excessively under normal printing conditions).
Note: For an unlisted paper size, select the closest larger listed size. For information on card stock and labels, see the Card Stock & Label Guide. Paper types and weights supported by the printer The printer engine and the duplex path support 60–90 g/m 60–163 g/m (16–43 lb) paper weights.
