Printing to the rear output bin

The printer always prints to the rear output bin if it is open. Paper printed to this bin will be face up, with the last page on top (reverse order).

Printing from tray 1 to the rear output bin provides the straightest paper path. Opening the rear output bin might improve performance with the following items:

envelopes

labels

small custom-size paper

postcards

￿paper heavier than 120 g/m2 (32 lb)

To open the rear output bin, grasp the handle at the top of the bin. Pull the bin down, and slide out the extension.

Opening the rear output bin disables the optional duplexer (if installed) and the top output bin. To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output bin while the printer is printing.

Printing to the optional stacker or stapler/stacker

The optional stacker or optional stapler/stacker can hold up to 500 sheets of paper (20-lb paper). The stacker accepts standard and custom paper sizes. The stapler/stacker accepts standard and custom paper sizes, but only letter, legal, and A4 sizes can be stapled. Do not try to send other types of print media, such as labels or envelopes.

When a stapler/stacker is installed, the printer automatically rotates the printed images 180° on all paper sizes, regardless of whether the job is stapled. Paper types that must be printed in the correct orientation (such as letterhead or prepunched paper) might need to be loaded in a different direction. See “Orientation of paper when a stapler is installed” on page 38.

To print to the optional stacker or optional stapler/stacker, select the option in the program, in the printer driver, or at the printer control panel. (Before you use the optional stacker or optional stapler/stacker, ensure that the printer driver is set to recognize it. You need to set this setting only once. See the printer driver online Help for details.)

For more information about supported paper, see “Supported sizes and weights of paper” on page 183. For more information about stapling, see “Stapling documents” on page 39.
