Tray Is Empty

The tray specified on the control panel is empty. The printer can still print from the other trays. Load paper in the tray. See the labels inside the printer for paper-loading instructions.

To load paper in the tray:

1. Pull out the tray.
   
   

2. If necessary, adjust the width and length guides to match the size of the paper.
   
   

3. Fan the paper to release sheets that are stuck together.
   
   

4. Insert a stack of paper into the tray. Depending on the size and type of paper, load the paper long-edge feed or short-edge feed.

   Long-Edge Feed

   Short-Edge Feed

   Recommended for all supported paper types and sizes, except A6 size paper and paper that is longer than 328 mm (12.9 in.). For single-sided printing, insert the side to be printed facedown with the top of the paper at the back of the tray. Prepunched holes should be on the right side of the tray.   For automatic 2-sided printing, insert side one faceup with the top of the paper at the back of the tray. Prepunched holes should be on the left side of the tray. Transparencies should be loaded into Tray 2 only. Do not load more than 200 transparencies.

   Use for paper that is longer than 328 mm (12.9 in.), and for A6 size paper. A6 size paper should be printed single-sided, from Tray 2 only.   For single-sided printing, insert the side to be printed facedown with the top of the page on the right side of the tray. Prepunched holes should be towards the front of the tray. For automatic 2-sided printing, insert side one faceup with the top of the page on the right side of the tray.
