The following information describes how to load paper in Tray 3. This tray holds up to 550 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper.

CAUTION:

Do not print envelopes, labels, or unsupported sizes of paper from Tray 3. Print these types of paper only from Tray 1.

  1. Pull the tray out and lift up slightly to remove it completely from the printer.
    NOTE:

    Do not open the tray while it is in use.

  2. Adjust the paper-width guides by squeezing the adjustment latch on the left guide and sliding the guides to the size of the paper being used.

  3. Adjust the paper-length guide by squeezing the adjustment latch and sliding the guides to the size of the paper being used.

  4. Load paper into the tray.
    NOTE:

    Do not adjust the paper guides tightly against the paper stack. Adjust them to the indentations or markings in the tray.


    NOTE:

    To prevent jams, adjust the paper guides to the correct size and do not overfill the tray. Be sure that the top of the stack is below the tray full indicators, as shown in the enlargement in the illustration.


    NOTE:

    If the tray is not adjusted correctly, an error message might display during printing or the paper might jam.

  5. Slide the tray completely into the printer.

  6. At the computer, begin the printing process from the software application. Make sure that the driver is set to the correct paper type and size for the paper being printed from the tray.
