•
Make sure the paper or specialty media is below the maximum
paper fill indicator.
Warning—Potential Damage: Overfilling the feeder can
cause paper jams.
6 For custom- or universal-size paper, adjust the width guides to
lightly touch the sides of the stack.
7 From the printer control panel, set the paper size and type in the
Paper menu to match the paper loaded in the tray.
Note: Set the correct paper size and type to avoid paper jams
and print quality problems.

Linking and unlinking trays

When the paper size and paper type for any trays are the same, the
printer will link those trays. When one linked tray becomes empty,
paper will feed from the next linked tray. We recommend giving all
unique paper, such as letterhead and different colored plain papers, a
different custom type name so that the trays they are in will not
automatically link.
