Paper sources
and output bins
Your printer comes equipped with two standard paper
sources: a 250-sheet paper tray and the 100-sheet multi-
purpose feeder. (Some models may ship with a second
250-sheet tray.) You can load paper and transparencies in
the standard tray. Load paper, transparencies, labels, card
stock, or envelopes in the multipurpose feeder.
For additional paper capacity, you can attach up to two
250-sheet optional drawers to your printer. When linked,
you can then effectively create a single 850-sheet source.
See page 82 for more information about tray linking. Refer
to the Setup Guide for information about installing
optional drawers.
The table on page 72 details the types and quantities of
media you can load in each of the printer’s paper sources.
For more information about selecting specific media, see
“Media guidelines” on page 74.
Your printer also has two output bins: the top output bin
that collates up to 250 sheets of paper (face down), and the
rear output bin that stacks up to 100 sheets of paper, 50
transparencies, or 30 labels face up. The rear output bin
lets you feed transparencies, labels, card stock, and enve-
lopes straight out the back of the printer, reducing curling
and potential paper jams. Select the bin you want to use
from the Output Bin menu.
The top output bin has a sensor that detects when the bin
is full. When the printer displays the message
Remove
Paper / Top Output
, you must empty the bin before you can
continue printing.
