You need to know three characteristics about any paper (print
media) you want to use with your printer:
• Type
• Weight
• Size
The type, weight, and size of the paper (print media)
determine:
• which paper feed tray can be used
Choices are multipurpose tray (MP Tray/manual feed) or
Trays 1 - 2
• which paper exit path can be used
Choices are face-down or face-up (straight-through)
• whether you can use double sided (duplex) printing
For type, see

For weight, refer to the correct paper type. Each paper type
has a table (matrix) of paper size, paper weight, paper feed,
paper exit, simplex/duplex correlations.
