<Loading print media>
Using the multi-purpose tray
The multi-purpose tray can hold special sizes and types of print media,
such as transparencies, postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is
useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper.
To load paper in the multi-purpose tray:
1 Pull the multi-purpose tray down towards you and pull the multi-
purpose tray extension to hold longer paper.
2 If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to
separate the pages before loading.
For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the
print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems.
3 Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.
Depending on the media type you are using, keep the following
loading guidelines:
• Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left
side.
• Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive strip
entering the printer first.
• Labels: Print side up and the top short edge entering the printer
first.
• Preprinted paper: Design side up and the top edge entering the
printer first.
• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the printer
first.
• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down and an
uncurled edge entering the printer first.
Note
• To print on envelopes, you must open the rear cover and push
the fuser levers upwards. The print quality will be enhanced.
Note
• Make sure that you have not loaded too much print media. The
print media buckles if you load a stack that is too deep or if you
push it in too far.
Caution
• When you print on special media like envelopes, labels,
transparencies, or cards, the output location should be the rear
cover. Open the rear cover to use it. See page 5.8.
