The following sections describe how to load media into the different input trays. Tray 1 is accessed from the front of the printer. The printer prints from tray 1 before attempting to print from other trays. You can use tray 1 to print the first page on media different from the remainder of the document. Media guides ensure that the media is correctly fed into the printer and that the print is not skewed crooked on the media. When loading media, adjust the media guides to match the width of the media that you are using.

Load media with the top forward and the side to be printed on facing down. Media guides ensure that the media feeds correctly into the printer and that the print is not skewed. Tray 2 has side and rear media guides. When loading media, adjust the media guides to match the length and width of the media that you are using. NOTE When you add new media, make sure that you remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten the stack of new media. This reduces jams by preventing multiple sheets of media from feeding through the printer at one time.

If you open the straight-through output door before printing media from tray 1, tray 2, or optional tray 3, the media exits the printer through the straight-through output path. NOTE Printed media does not stack when you use the straight-through output path. The media drops to the surface below unless you remove each sheet as it exits the printer. You can use manual feed when printing mixed media.

For example, you can use manual feed to print an envelope, then a letter, then an envelope, and so on. Load envelopes in tray 1 and load letterhead into tray 2.
