The procedure to load paper for the 550-sheet trays is the same as for Tray 2. Only Tray 2 is shown here.
note:
The paper guides may be locked before use and may not be adjustable.

  4. Load paper into the tray. Check the paper to verify the guides lightly touch the stack, but do not bend it. For information about how to orient the paper, see the Tray 2 and the 550-sheet trays paper orientation section below.
    note:
    Do not adjust the paper guides tightly against the paper stack. Adjust them to the indentations or markings in the tray.
    note:
    To prevent jams, adjust the paper guides to the correct size and do not overfill the tray. Be sure that the top of the stack is below the tray full indicator.
