Load Paper in the Bypass Tray

1. Open the bypass tray.
   
   NOTE: If the bypass tray is open and loaded with paper already, remove any paper that is a different size or type.
   
   

2. Fully extend the bypass tray.
   
   
   
   

3. Move the width guides to the edges of the tray.

4. Flex the sheets back and forth and fan them, then align the edges of the stack on a level surface. This procedure separates any sheets that are stuck together and reduces the possibility of jams.
   
   
   
   NOTE: To avoid jams and misfeeds, do not remove paper from its packaging until you are ready to use it.
   
   

5. Load the paper in the tray, and adjust the width guides until they touch the edges of the paper.
   
   
   
   

   • Load hole-punched paper with the holes toward the left side of the printer.

   • For 1-sided and 2-sided printing, to load letterhead or pre-printed paper, place letterhead face up with the top edge going into the printer first.
     
     

   NOTE: Do not load paper above the maximum fill line. Overfilling the tray can cause the printer to jam.
   
   

6. Make sure the tray is configured with the correct paper size and type. See the Related Content for additional information.
