You can increase paper capacity by purchasing an optional 550-sheet drawer. The output bin on top of the printer holds up to 150 sheets. The single-sheet rear exit provides a straight-through path to help reduce curling and potential jams. This is especially useful for specialty media, such as transparencies, envelopes, paper labels, card stock, or index cards.

Prepare a paper stack for loading by flexing and fanning it back and forth. Straighten the edges on a level surface. Adjust the rear paper guide for the print media size you will be loading. Note: There should be a slight gap between the rear paper guide and the paper stack. Insert the paper stack with the print side facing down.

The dust cover helps protect the tray from the environment. It also keeps the tray from being knocked out of position while it is extended. Attach the dust cover to the back of the printer by aligning the tabs on the cover to the holes on the printer, then snap the cover into place.
Loading the manual feeder The manual feeder is located at the front of the printer and can only feed one sheet of print media at a time. You can use the manual feeder to make quick runs of paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the tray.
To use the rear exit, open the rear exit door. When the rear exit door is open, all print media comes out the rear exit. When closed, all media is sent to the output bin on top of the printer.

Clearing jams When a paper jam occurs, the printer stops and the control panel Paper Jam Continue lights come on. For more information, see the Software and Documentation CD that came with your printer. We recommend clearing the entire paper path when a paper jam occurs.
