IMPORTANT
Operational requirements and restrictions are indicated at the end of this page. Be sure to read these items carefully in order to operate the printer correctly, and to avoid damage to the printer.
Output tray type:
This printer has two output trays: "output tray" on the top of the printer unit and "sub-output tray" on the rear of the printer unit.
Do not switch one output tray to another during printing. This may result in paper jams.
- Output tray
Printed paper is output to the output tray with the printed side facing down.
When outputting A3 size paper or other long-size paper to the output tray, pull out the auxiliary tray to prevent the paper from hanging out of the output tray. When you use the auxiliary tray, gently open it until it stops.
- Sub-output tray
Printed paper is output to the sub-output tray on the rear of the printer unit with the printed side facing up. Printed paper is stacked with the page order reversed. The sub-output tray is suitable to print transparencies, labels, or envelopes that curl easily, since the printed paper is output flattened.
When outputting A4 size paper or other large-size paper to the sub-output tray, pull out the auxiliary tray to prevent the paper from hanging out of the sub-output tray. When outputting A3 size paper or other long-size paper to the sub-output tray, open the tray extension. When you use the tray extension, gently open it until it stops.
Paper capacity of the output trays:
| Paper Type | Output Trays * | |
| Output Tray | Sub-output Tray | |
| Plain paper (64 g/m2) | Approx. 250 sheets | Approx. 50 sheets |
| Heavy paper (128 g/m2) | Approx. 150 sheets | Approx. 30 sheets |
| Transparency | Approx. 100 sheets | 1 sheet |
| Label | Approx. 100 sheets | Approx. 20 sheets |
| Envelope | Approx. 50 sheets | Approx. 10 sheets |
* Actual paper capacity varies depending on the installation environment and paper type.
Selecting an output tray:
- Switching to the sub-output tray
Switch an output tray to the sub-output tray using the following procedure.
1. Open the sub-output tray (1).
When outputting A4 size paper or other large-size paper, pull out the auxiliary tray (2).
When outputting A3 size paper or other long-size paper, open the tray extension (3).
2. Select [Auto] or [Sub-output Tray] in [Paper Output] in the [Finishing] sheet in the printer driver.
Make sure that the sub-output tray is opened before selecting [Auto]. If the sub-output tray is closed, printed paper is output to the output tray.
- Switching to the output tray
Switch an output tray to the output tray using the following procedure.
1. Close the tray extension and auxiliary tray (1), then close the sub-output tray (2).
2. Select [Auto] or [Output Tray] in [Paper Output] in the [Finishing] sheet in the printer driver.
Make sure that the sub-output tray is closed before selecting [Auto]. If the sub-output tray is opened, printed paper is output to the sub-output tray.
IMPORTANT
a. Printed paper can be output only to the output tray when performing automatic 2-sided printing.
b. During 2-sided printing, do not touch the paper until it is output to the output tray completely. During 2-sided printing, the paper is once output partially after the front side is printed, and then it is fed again to be printed on the reverse side.
c. The surroundings of the output tray and sub-output tray are hot during printing or immediately after printing. When taking out of the paper or removing jammed paper, be careful not to touch the surroundings of the output tray or sub-output tray.
d. Be sure to close the sub-output tray before performing automatic 2-sided printing. If the sub-output tray is opened during 2-sided printing, this may result in paper jams.
e. Paper is output with the printed side facing up to the sub-output tray. Therefore, when printing from the first page, the paper is stacked with the page order reversed. If you want the printer to output paper with the pages collated in the right order, select the [Reverse Output Order When Using Sub-output Tray] check box in the [Finishing Details] dialog box in the [Finishing] sheet, and you can output paper with the pages collated in the right order because the printer prints from the last page. (The [Reverse Output Order When Using Sub-output Tray] check box is selected at the default setting.)
NOTE
a. The output tray can hold up to approximately 250 sheets of plain paper (64 g/m2). The paper capacity varies depending on the paper size or paper type. For more details, see "Paper capacity of the output trays" in this page.
b. The sub-output tray can hold up to approximately 50 sheets of plain paper (64 g/m2). The paper capacity varies depending on the paper size or paper type. For more details, see "Paper capacity of the output trays" in this page.
