    Configuring Universal paper settings The Universal Paper Size is a user-defined setting that lets you print on paper sizes that are not preset in the printer menus. Set the Paper Size for the specified tray to Universal when the size you want is not available from the Paper Size menu.
  • Page 24 Specify the paper height and width Defining a specific height and width measurement for the Universal paper size (in the portrait orientation) allows the printer to support the size, including support for standard features such as duplex printing and printing multiple pages on one sheet.
  • Page 25: Loading The 520-Sheet Trays

    Loading the 520-sheet trays The printer has a standard 520-sheet tray (Tray 1), and it may have one or more optional 520-sheet trays. All 520-sheet trays support the same paper sizes and types. Paper may be loaded in the trays in either the long-edge or short-edge orientation.
  • Page 26 Squeeze the length guide tab inward as shown, and slide the guide to the correct position for the paper size being loaded. Note: Use the size indicators on the bottom of the tray to help position the guides. Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
  • Page 27: Using A5 Or Statement Paper Sizes

    The printer trays cannot distinguish between A5- (148 x 210 mm) and statement-size (140 x 216 mm) paper when both sizes are loaded in the printer trays. From the Size Sensing menu, specify which size you want the printer to detect.
  • Page 28: Loading The 867- And 1133-Sheet Trays

    Loading the 867- and 1133-sheet trays Although the 867-sheet tray and the 1133-sheet tray are different in appearance, they support the same paper sizes and types and require the same process for loading paper. Use these instructions to load paper in either tray: Grasp the handle, and open the tray.
  • Page 29: Using The Multipurpose Feeder

    Make sure the paper guides are secure against the edges of the paper. Insert the tray into the printer. If a different type of paper was loaded than the type previously loaded in the tray, change the Paper Type setting for the tray from the control panel.
  • Page 30 Pull the multipurpose feeder tray down. Grasp the extension, and gently pull it out until it is fully extended. Prepare the paper for loading. • Flex sheets of paper back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
