Selecting the Output Bin

The printer has two output locations: the rear output bin and the top output bin. To use the top output bin, be sure the rear output bin is closed. To use the rear output bin, open it.

The following table shows the minimum and maximum sizes of paper supported in the output bins.

 

Top Output Bin

Rear Output Bin

 

 

 

Width

From 3.9 to 11.7 inches wide

From 3 to 12.28 inches wide

 

(100 to 297 mm wide)

(76 to 312 mm wide)

Length

From 5 to 18.5 inches long

 

(127 to 470 mm long)

Guidelines

If paper coming out of the top output bin has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output bin.

To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output bin while the printer is printing.

Do not print envelopes, labels, paper wider than 11.7 inches (297 mm) wide, small custom-size paper, postcards, or light or heavy paper to the top output bin.

For printing stacks of large paper only, the paper stop on the top output bin prevents long paper from being pushed over the edge of the printer.
