The multi-purpose tray (MPT) serves as an additional tray for loading any type of
media that ranges in size from 91 mm x 254 mm to 216 mm x 356 mm (3.6″x 10″to
8.5″x 14″). Use it to load a single sheet or a stack of media, depending on the
media’s type and thickness.
Use the multi-purpose tray to accomplish the following:
Print on standard and special media
BStandard media
Laser paper [75 to 165 g/m2(20 to 44 lbs.)]
BSpecial media
Labels
Envelope (#10 size) [Black Text only]
Transparency (The print quality may not be stable. Use the media tray for
best reliability.)
Two-sided printing (doubles-sided) on laser paper
You should not expect the same print quality and reliability that you get with one-
sided printing. For details, refer to page 156.
