Load Letter, A4, or Executive Size Paper in Paper Tray #1 / Paper Tray #2

  • If the [Check Paper] setting is set to [On] and you pull the paper tray out of the machine, a message appears on the LCD, allowing you to change the paper size and paper type.
  • When you load a different paper size in the tray, you must change the Paper Size setting in the machine or the paper size setting on your computer.

    Doing this enables the machine to automatically feed paper from the appropriate tray if Auto Tray Select has been set in the printer driver (Windows) or on the machine. (MFC-J5855DW/MFC-J5955DW)

  • You can use only plain paper in Tray #2. (MFC-J5955DW)
