Using the SSF
• Load only one size and type of print media during a single print job.
• To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality print media 
that is designed for use in laser printer. For more guidelines on print media, 
see Print Media Guidelines.
• Do not add or remove print media when the printer is printing from the SSF. 
This may result in a paper jam.
• Print media should be loaded with the recommended print side down and the 
top of the print media going into the SSF first.
• Do not place objects on the SSF. Also, avoid pressing down or apply 
excessive force on it.
• The icons on the SSF show how to load the SSF with paper, and how to turn 
an envelope for printing.

Linking Trays
The printer automatically links the trays when you load the same size and type 
of print media in them. The first tray will be utilized until the media runs out 
after which the next tray will be used. 
 NOTE: The print media should be the same size and type in each tray. 
The SSF cannot be linked to any of the tray sources. 
After loading the selected trays with the same size and type of print media, 
select the Paper Type setting in the Tray Settings component for each source 
(tray). 
To disable tray linking change the Paper type in one of the sources (trays) to a 
unique value.
 NOTE: If different types of print media of the same size are loaded in each tray, 
the printer will automatically link them if the paper type is not specified in the 
printer driver properties/preferences.
