Loading Paper
You can load paper into the paper drawer, multi-purpose tray, optional paper deck, and optional envelope feeder. Load the paper you usually use into the paper drawer. The paper drawer is convenient when using large amounts of paper. Use the multi-purpose tray when you temporarily use size or type of paper that is not loaded in the paper drawer. See Paper for available paper sizes.

When printing on paper that has absorbed moistureSteam may emit from the paper output area, or water droplets may form on and around the paper output area. There is nothing unusual about any of these occurrences, which occur when the heat generated from fixing toner on the paper causes moisture in the paper to evaporate (most likely to occur at low room temperatures).
