Setting media thickness
Because the printer accommodates varying media weights in the Multi-Purpose
Tray, you can manually select a media thickness for the most reliable paper-picking.
The Media Thickness Switch is only applicable for the Multi-Purpose Tray.
1.
Open the left side door. The blue Media Thickness Switch is located on the
paper feeder and has three settings:
a. Thin
b. Medium
c. Thick
2.
Move the switch to the setting for the desired media. Use the guidelines in
the following table to determine which type of media requires which
setting.

double-feed errors at the Multi-Purpose Tray, move the Media Thickness Switch to a
thinner setting.
