Loading Custom-Size Paper in the 500-Sheet Tray

The following instructions are for
loading custom-sizes in a 500-sheet
tray (optional). For supported sizes of
paper, see page A-6. To load standard
sizes, see page 31.

Note

To avoid paper jams, do not load trays
while the printer is printing.

1 Pull the tray completely out of the

printer and place it on a flat surface.

2 Load the tray.

3 Squeeze the release on the back of

the rear paper guide. Slide the rear
guide against the edge of the paper.
The front corners of the paper
should be lined up with the marks on
the front side guide’s tabs.

4 Squeeze the release on the outside

of the left guide and adjust the left
and right guides to match the width
of the paper. The front corners of the
paper should be below the tabs on
the guides, and the edges should be
lined up with the markings on the
tabs. The guides should touch the
paper without bending it.

5 Make sure the paper is flat in the tray

at all four corners and below the tabs
on the guides.
