The optional 500-sheet drawer consists of a 500-sheet tray and the support unit. The tray is loaded in the same way as the 250-sheet standard tray is loaded. The only differences between the trays are the look of the width and length tabs and the location of the size indicators. The following illustration shows the tabs and the location of the size indicators for the optional 500-sheet tray.
