Printing to the Rear Output Bin
The printer always prints to the rear output bin if it is open. Paper comes out of the printer
To open the rear output bin, grasp the handle at the top of the bin and pull the bin down. Slide out the first extension, then flip open the second extension if necessary.
Printing from Tray 1 to the rear output bin provides the straightest paper path. Opening the rear output bin might improve output quality with the following:
•envelopes
•labels
•paper wider than 11.7 inches (297 mm) or less than 3.9 inches (100 mm) wide
•small
•postcards
•paper lighter than 16 lb (60 g/m2) or heavier than 28 lb (105 g/m2)
Note | Opening the rear output bin disables the optional duplexer (if |
| installed) and the top output bin. |
