Paper types and weights supported by the printer
Notes:
• Your printer model may have a 650-sheet duo drawer, which consists of a 550-sheet tray and an integrated
100-sheet multipurpose feeder. The 550-sheet tray part of the 650-sheet duo drawer supports the same paper as
the optional 550-sheet tray. The integrated multipurpose feeder supports different paper sizes, types, and weights.
• The optional 550-sheet tray is not available for all printer models.
