Printer Setup
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
•Standard media
—Laser paper [75 to 165 g/m2 (20 to 44 lbs.)]
•Special 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 (double-sided) on laser paper
You should not expect the same print quality and reliability that you get with
one-sided printing. For details, see “Two-sided printing” on page 208.
