Media and tray_ 4
The tray is preset to Letter or A4 size, depending on your country. To
change the size to A4 or Letter, you must adjust the lever and paper width
guide properly.
1. Pull the tray out of the machine. Open the paper cover and remove
paper from the tray if necessary.
2. If you want to change the size to Letter, turn over the tray, and hold the
lever at the back and rotate it clockwise.
3. Squeeze the paper width guide and slide it to the edge of the lever.
If you want to change the size to A4, first move the paper width
guide to left and rotate the lever counterclockwise. If you force the
lever, it could damage the tray.

Manual feeding in the tray
To load different sizes of paper such as envelope, transparency, labels or
custom-sized paper, you need to adjust the paper guides for manual
feeding in the tray. To use manual feeding in the tray, you must adjust the
paper length/width guide properly.
Tips on using the manual feeding method
• If you select Manual Feeder for Source from your software application,
you need to press the Color Start or Black Start button each time
you print a page. Load only one type, size and weight of print media
at a time in the tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add media while printing. This also
applies to other types of print media.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the
tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.
• Always load the use recommended print media only to avoid paper
jams and print quality problems (See "Print media specifications" on
page 3).
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes and labels before loading
them into the tray.
