Using the Multi-Purpose Tray
The Multi-Purpose Tray is located in the front of your printer.
It can be closed when you are not using it, making the printer more compact. The
Multi-Purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of paper, such as transparencies,
cards, and envelopes. You may also want to use the Multi-Purpose Tray for single page
print jobs on letterheads, colored paper for use as separator sheets, or other special
paper that you do not normally keep in the paper tray.
You can load approximately 100 sheets of paper, 10 envelopes, 20 transparencies, 10
card stocks or 25 labels at a time.
When you print from the Multi-Purpose Tray, you must select
Multi-Purpose Tray
for
Paper Source
from your software application, and then select the paper size and
type from the software application for the paper you have loaded. See Reference
Manual, page 5.3.
• Load only one size of print media at a time in the Multi-Purpose Tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the Multi-
Purpose Tray. This also applies to other types of print materials.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top of the print media going into the
Multi-Purpose Tray first and
be placed against the left edge of the tray.
• Do not place objects on the Multi-Purpose Tray. Also avoid pressing down or apply-
ing excessive force on it.
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and
ensure trouble-free printing.
Do not
remove paper
tray(s) while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a
paper jam.
The paper level indicator on the front of the paper
tray(s) shows the amount of paper currently left in the
tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator turns red.
