Loading Media in the Multi-purpose Tray

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. The amount of media you can load depends upon its 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 or larger size)* [Black Text only]

⎯Transparency (The print quality may not be stable. Use the media tray for best reliability.)

⎯Coated paper

* If the Envelope is larger than #10, you must select a paper size that is larger than your envelope ( ☞ P. 124, P. 126, P. 133 of the Utilities and Drivers Reference Guide).

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, refer to page 151.

Setting media thickness switch

Because the printer accommodates various media weights from the multi-purpose tray, media thickness can be manually selected for the most reliable paper-picking. Follow these steps:

1Open the left side door (#). The green media thickness switch is located on the paper feeder and has three settings:
