Paper trays
Load the priority input tray (Tray 1)

- Load the paper face-up with the top forward in the input tray. The orientation of the paper in the tray varies depending on the type of print job. For additional information, see Table 2-1 Tray 1 paper orientation on page 17.
- Adjust the paper guides until they are snug against the paper.

Load the main input tray (Tray 2)
NOTE: When adding new paper, make sure to remove all of the paper from the input tray and straighten the stack. Do not fan the paper. This reduces jams by preventing multiple sheets of paper from feeding through the product at one time. Use paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged.
- Open the dust cover.
- Load the paper into the tray. Make sure that the paper fits under the tabs and below the maximum-height indicators. The orientation of the paper in the tray varies depending on the type of print job. For additional information, see Table 2-2 Tray 2 paper orientation on page 21.
