Loading paper and

specialty media

This section explains how to load the 250- and 550-sheet trays, and
the manual feeder. It also includes information about setting the
Paper Size and Paper Type.
Setting the paper size and

paper type

Make sure the settings for the trays reflect the size and type of
paper loaded in the trays. The factory default paper type setting
is plain paper, so the paper type setting must be set manually for
all trays that do not contain plain paper. Access the Paper menu
through the Embedded Web Server if your printer is networked:
1 Type the printer IP address in 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.
2
Click Settings.
3
From the Paper menu, find the Size and Type for each input
source.
4
Select the paper size and paper type used most frequently from
each input source.
5
Click Submit.
If the printer is connected to a computer by a USB or parallel cable,
use one of the following utilities to access the Paper menu,
depending on your operating system:
•
On a Windows computer, access the Paper menu through the
Local Printer Settings Utility.
•
On a Macintosh computer, access the Paper menu through the
Printer Settings.
Note: The Paper Size and Type settings will be saved until you reset
factory default settings. If you would like to override the Paper Size
and Type settings for a special print job, do one of the following:
• For Windows users, click File Print, and then click
Properties, Preferences, Options, or Setup.
•
For Macintosh users, choose File > Print, and then adjust the
settings from the print dialog and pop-up menus.
Loading the standard 250-sheet
tray
The printer has two trays to select from: the standard tray (Tray 1),
also known as the 250-sheet tray, and either the optional
250-sheet tray or the optional 550-sheet tray (Tray 2). Only one
optional drawer (which includes an optional tray) may be attached
to the printer at one time.
Proper paper loading prevents jams and facilitates trouble-free
printing.
1 Pull the tray completely out.
