The MP tray can accommodate various types and sizes of paper and envelopes. The MP tray handles 250 sheets of plain paper, allowing you to load a total of 750 sheets when used in combination with the lower cassette.

You can load the following paper sizes. The loading orientation differs depending on the paper size, as explained below:

See Paper for actual measurements.

Note:

When you load Executive, G-letter, HTL, Ledger, B4, G-Legal, and other custom paper sizes, select the paper size in the printer driver, then set the paper size for the MP tray using the SelecType Tray Menu. For instructions, see Tray Menu.

Follow these steps to load paper into the MP tray:

Pull out the paper cassette.

Push down the inner tray until it clicks onto the bottom of the cassette.

While pressing the vertical and horizontal paper guides, pull them up and slide them outward to accommodate the size of your paper.

Fan a stack of paper and tap it on a flat surface to even the edges, then insert the paper into the cassette with the printable surface facing up.

Note:

Be sure not to load paper exceeding the maximum paper mark.

If your printouts are curled or do not stack properly when using plain paper, try turning the stack over and reloading it.

Adjust the vertical and horizontal paper guides to fit your paper size.

Note:

Make sure to adjust the paper guides to the paper size you load; otherwise, the printer will not print properly.

Push the paper cassette back into the printer.

Peel the appropriate paper size label from the label sheet included with your printer and attach it to the outside of the MP tray.

Selecting the paper size

By default, the printer driver is set for A4 size paper. If you load paper of a different size, change the paper size setting on the printer driver's Basic Settings tab. For more information on using the printer driver, see the driver's online help.

You can also change this setting from the printer's control panel using OneTouch mode 1. For details, see OneTouch mode 1.
