To help prevent jams:
Flex all stacks of print media back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them before loading. Do not fold or crease the print media. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.
Note: Load letterhead paper with the design side facing down. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the front of the tray. Make sure the paper is below the maximum fill lines on the side guides. Overloading may cause jams.
When the rear exit door is open, all print media comes out the rear exit. When closed, all media is sent to the output bin on top of the printer.
4 Slide the two side guides and the back guide until they fit snugly
against the stack of paper. Warning: Do not force the print media into the feeder. Forcing the media causes jams.
Do not exceed the maximum stack height. Never mix media types within a tray.
Insert envelopes with the flap side face down and with the stamp area as shown.
