Loading print media into the priority feeder
The priority feeder is located at the front of the printer, just above Tray 1. Use the priority feeder to make quick runs of print
media types or sizes that are not currently loaded in Tray 1.
For information on acceptable print media and quantity for use in the priority feeder, see Types of print media on page 46.
Using only specified print media helps prevent jams and print quality problems.
1
Adjust the guides to the width of the print media.
2
Place selected print media, with side to be
printed face up, at the center of the priority
feeder, resting on the Tray 1 paper cover.
3
Push selected print media into the printer
until the print media stops.
Note: Do not force print media into the
feeder. Forcing media causes
jams.
•
Insert envelopes with flap side down and
return address first. The stamp area will feed
through last.
•
Hold transparencies by the edges, and avoid
touching the print side. Oil from fingers can
affect print quality.
•
Load letterhead face up, top of sheet first.
