guidelines for loading paper The guidelines for loading paper are: • The default size for all trays is 216 by 279 mm (8.5 by 11 inches) or A4. • For Tray 2 and Tray 3, insert media with side for printing face-down with the short edge of the paper facing the rear of the printer. To print horizontally (landscape orientation), select landscape. • When loading Tray 1, position the media with side for printing face-up with the left edge of the media against the left edge of the tray(looking from back) . For preprinted forms and letterhead, load the media with the top edge feeding into the printer first.
• If you purchased the optional multipurpose tray, which is installed in the Tray 1 location, position the media face-up against the right edge of the tray first (facing front of printer), and then slide the media down into the tray. Load the media print- side up. For preprinted forms and letterhead, load the media with the top edge feeding into the printer first. • To prevent jams, load only one type of media at a time into a tray. Also, when adding media, always remove the existing media and realign the media width and length guides to fit the new media. • Always use media that conforms to the printer specifications.
For more information about types of media that can be used with the printer, see the topic “paper sizes, capacities, and weights.” • Do not use paper that is heavily textured or does not absorb ink well. This type of paper can cause poorly filled graphics or text. • The document margins must match (or exceed) a margin setting of 4 mm. 2-32 hp restricted setup & configure
