Optional 550-sheet tray

Print side and paper orientation

Printed letterhead design is placed facedown. The top edge of the sheet with the logo is placed at the front of the tray.

Duplex (two-sided) printing from trays

Printed letterhead design is placed faceup. The top edge of the sheet with the logo is placed at the rear of the tray.

Manual feeder (simplex printing)
