Media specifications and guidelines
Using and loading the multipurpose feeder
Your MFP has a multipurpose feeder that holds several sizes and types of print media. It is located
on the front of your MFP and can be closed when you are not using it. Reserve the multipurpose
feeder for when you print on different sizes and types of print media, such as card stock,
transparencies, postcards, note cards, and envelopes. You can load a stack of print media, or you
can load single sheets you do not keep in a tray.
If the MFP displays
Load MP Feeder
, you should load the multipurpose feeder. Load the print
media, and then press
✓
. If you load a single sheet, the message is displayed again to prompt you to
load the next sheet. See Loading the multipurpose feeder for more information.
See page 48 of Media specifications and guidelines for a listing of supported types and sizes.
Note: When printing from the multipurpose feeder, be sure to set the Paper Size and
Paper Type.
Follow these guidelines when using the multipurpose feeder:
• Load only one size and type of print media at a time.
• To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality print media that is designed
for use in laser printers. See
Print media guidelines for information on selecting types of
print media.
• To prevent jams, do not add print media to the multipurpose feeder when it already contains
print media.
• Do not close the multipurpose feeder while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a jam.
• Load print media with the top edge going into the multipurpose feeder first.
• Do not place objects on the multipurpose feeder. Also, avoid applying excessive force to it.
