Choosing the Paper Output Tray

The printer has two methods of delivering paper. Which one you use depends on the paper type, the size of the document, or if you want your document collated. This section tells you how to use the side output tray and the top output tray.

Using the Side Output Tray

If the side output tray is open, printouts are delivered faceup into the tray. Use this delivery method for normal printing and when you print on heavy-weight paper. In contrast, if the side output tray is closed, printouts are delivered facedown into the top output tray (see “Using the Top Output Tray” on page 3–15).

The side output tray can hold 20 sheets of paper.

Note: When you print transparencies into the side output tray, be sure to remove each sheet as it is delivered into the tray. This lessens the chance of curling and jams.

Opening the Side Output Tray

Use the following procedure to open the side output tray.

1. Lift the latch to open the side output tray and pull the tray down.
