Do not overload the tray or document feeder.

To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid loading the following paper in the

tray or document feeder:

Multipart forms

Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled

Media with cutouts or perforations

Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well

Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily

Media that contains staples or clips

Work with trays

By default, the printer draws paper from Tray 1. If Tray 1 is empty and Tray 2 is installed and contains paper,

the printer draws paper from Tray 2.
You can change the behaviors using the following features:

Default Tray: Set the default tray from which the printer draws paper first when paper of the same size

is loaded in both Tray 1 and Tray 2.

Tray Lock: Lock a tray to prevent it from accidental use; for example, when you have loaded special

paper (such as letterhead or preprinted paper).
The printer will not use a locked tray even when the other tray is empty.

NOTE:

For better experience, load only one type of paper in a tray.

NOTE:

Tray 2 supports only plain paper.

To achieve this

Follow these steps

Have paper loaded in both trays and use paper from one tray if

the other tray is empty.

Load paper in both trays. For more information, see

Load

paper

.

Turn off tray lock.

Have paper loaded in both trays and use paper from one of the

trays first.

Load paper of the same size in both trays.

Set the desired tray as the default tray.

Be able to choose from plain paper and another paper type that

you use occasionally.

NOTE:

For better experience, load only one type of paper in a

tray.

Load special paper in main input tray and plain paper in Tray

2.

Lock the main input tray and set Tray 2 as the default tray.
