Note: Click Properties or Setup to adjust printer settings not available from the first screen, and click OK.
Menu Cancel a job from the Windows taskbar When you send a job to print, a small printer icon appears in the right corner of the taskbar. Double-click the printer icon. A list of print jobs appears. Select the job you want to cancel.
Cancel a job from a Macintosh computer When you send a job to print, the icon for your selected printer appears on the desktop. Double-click the printer icon on your desktop. A list of print jobs appears. Press Control and click the print job you want to cancel.
Menu Duplex in the Finishing Menu Paper and Use your software specialty media application or printer driver to send a Verify Print job. Use Held Jobs in the Job Menu to access your Verify Print job. What the setting does Lets you adjust the amount of toner released on a sheet of paper.
Holding a job in the printer When sending a job to the printer, you can specify in the driver that you want the printer to hold the job in memory. When you are ready to print the job, you must go to the printer and use the operator panel menus to identify which held job you want to print.
Print the job. Be aware, however, that only part of the job may print. • Delete the job. You may want to free up additional printer memory by scrolling through the list of held jobs and deleting others you have sent to the printer.
Repeat Print If you send a Repeat Print job, the printer prints all requested copies of the job and stores the job in memory so you can print additional copies later. You can print additional copies as long as the job remains stored in memory.

Loading the trays Loading the 500-sheet trays Follow these instructions to load any of the 500-sheet trays. Remove the tray. Squeeze the front guide lever and slide the guide to the front of the tray.
Page 21
Squeeze the side guide lever and slide the guide to the correct position for the size paper you are loading. Icons along the back of the tray indicate paper sizes. Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the paper.
Squeeze the front guide lever and slide the guide until it lightly touches the stack of paper. Reinstall the tray. Make sure the tray is pushed completely into the printer. Loading the 2000-sheet tray Follow these instructions to load a 2000-sheet tray. Do not load any print media other than paper in the 2000-sheet tray.
Page 23
Squeeze the side guide lever, lift the guide, and place it into the appropriate slot for the size paper you are loading. Squeeze the two front guide levers and slide the guide to the correct position for the size paper you are loading. Slide the bottom support toward the front of the tray until it touches the front guide.
Page 24
Place the paper against the back left corner of the tray, print side down. Do not load bent or wrinkled print media. Close the tray. Make sure the tray is pushed completely into the printer. Note: Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Overfilling the tray may cause paper jams.
The printer then prompts you to load the appropriate print media before it prints. Follow these instructions to load the multipurpose feeder. Open the multipurpose feeder. Squeeze the paper guide lever and slide the guide all the way toward the front of the printer.
Page 26
Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the print media. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface. Arrange the stack of print media correctly for the size, type, and print method you are using. Place the print media, print side up, along the left side of the multipurpose feeder, and then push it in as far as it will go.
For example, if you have the same size and type of paper or specialty media loaded in tray 2 and tray 4, the printer feeds from tray 2 until it becomes empty, and then it feeds from the next linked tray—tray 4.
