Load simulations

Load media in trays 2, 3, and 4

Use these steps to load letter-sized or A4 media into the trays. If using media lighter or heavier than 75g/m2 to 105g/m2 (20 to 28 lb), or if using coated media or transparencies, set the media type for the tray.

1. Open the tray until it stops.
2. Adjust the media-length guide by pressing the tab on the guide and moving it to the desired media size.
3. Adjust the media-width guide by pressing the tab on the guide and moving it to the desired media size.
4. Load the media into the tray.

Note
Do not load media above the media-fill triangles located at the back of the tray.

5. Close the tray.
