Printing from Tray 3 (500-Sheet Paper Feeder)

The printer supports an optional 500-sheet paper feeder (Tray 3). Tray 3 attaches to the bottom of the printer and serves as the printer’s base. When the optional duplex printing accessory is installed, the duplex unit must be positioned between the printer and the 500-sheet paper feeder. The printer’s internal sensors detect the presence or absence of Tray 3, and the printer control panel options automatically adjust to reflect the current configuration.

The following are features of the 500-sheet paper feeder (Tray 3):

●The tray has a capacity of 500 sheets of standard paper.

●It is adjustable for specific media sizes, with corresponding stop positions.

●The printer automatically detects media size based on Tray 3’s physical configuration and the position of the media-size knob located on the side of the tray.

●A user-configurable software setting identifies the media type that the printer expects to be loaded in Tray 3.

●An internal sensor automatically detects when Tray 3 is empty.

●A paper level indicator is provided on the front face of the tray.

Note

The paper path for the 500-sheet paper feeder passes through Tray 2.

 

If Tray 2 is partially pulled out or removed, media from the paper feeder

 

cannot feed into the printer. This causes the printer to go offline and

 

generates a message that Tray 2 must be installed.
