Loading paper and specialty media
This section explains how to load the 250- and 550-sheet trays, and the manual feeder. It also includes information
about setting the Paper Size and Paper Type.
Setting the paper size and paper type
Make sure the settings for the trays reflect the size and type of paper loaded in the trays. The factory default paper
type setting is plain paper, so the paper type setting must be set manually for all trays that do not contain plain paper.
Access the Paper menu through the Embedded Web Server if your printer is networked:
1
Type the printer IP address in the address field of your Web browser.
Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then print a network setup page and locate the IP address
in the TCP/IP section.
2
Click Settings .
3
From the Paper menu, find the Size and Type for each input source.
4
Select the paper size and paper type used most frequently from each input source.
5
Click
Submit
.
If the printer is connected to a computer by a USB or parallel cable, use one of the following utilities to access the
Paper menu, depending on your operating system:
•
On a Windows computer, access the Paper menu through the Local Printer Settings Utility.
•
On a Macintosh computer, access the Paper menu through the Printer Settings.
Note: The Paper Size and Type settings will be saved until you reset factory default settings. If you would like to

Œ
Print , and then click Properties , Preferences , Options , or Setup .

Configuring Universal paper settings
The Universal Paper Size is a user-defined setting that lets you print on paper sizes that are not preset in the printer
menus. Defining a specific height and width measurement for the Universal paper size, in the portrait orientation,
allows the printer to support the size. Specify all of the following Universal size settings for your paper:
•
Units of measure (inches or millimeters)
•
Portrait Width
•
Portrait Height
Note: The smallest supported Universal size is 76.2 x 127 mm (3 x 5 in.); the largest is 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 in.).
•
If the printer is on a network, open the Embedded Web Server:
1
Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser.
Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then print a network setup page and locate the IP
address in the TCP/IP section.
