Loading Paper

One Paper Tray and a Bypass Tray are standard on your machine. A second Paper Tray is available to 
purchase as an option.

Various media sizes and types can be used in the trays. For more media specifications, refer to 

Media 

Specifications 

on page 124.

Preparing Paper for Loading

Before loading paper into the paper trays, fan the edges. This procedure separates any sheets of paper 
that are stuck together and reduces the possibility of paper jams.

Note:

To avoid unnecessary paper jams and misfeeds do not remove paper from its packaging 

until required.

Loading the Paper Trays

Using the instructions provided below, load paper into the machine. Up to three paper trays are 
available, depending on your machine configuration. 

1.

Open the paper tray.

The paper level indicator on the front of the tray 1 and the 
optional tray 2 shows the amount of paper currently left in 
the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator of the bar is 
completely lowered.

2.

If loading Legal, Oficio and Folio open the back of the paper 
tray.
