Output Trays
Output Tray Types
This printer has two output trays: face-down output tray and face-up output tray.
Do not switch the output tray during printing. This may result in misfeeds.
CAUTION
Keep your hands or clothing away from the roller in the output area. Even if the 
printer is not printing, sudden rotation of the roller may catch your hands or 
cl othing, resulting in personal injury.
Face-down Output Tray
Printed paper is output to the face-down output tray with the printed side facing 
down.

Loading and Outputting Paper

When outputting Legal size paper or other long-size paper to the face-down output 
tray, open the face-down output tray support to prevent the paper from hanging out 
of the tray. When you use the face-down output tray support, gently open it until it 
stops.
IMPORTANT
•Do not touch the paper during automatic 2-sided printing until it is com\
pletely output to 
the face-down output tray. In automatic 2-sided printing, the paper is partially output once 
after printed on its surface and is fed again to be printed on its reverse side.
•When performing automatic 2-sided printing, the printer can output paper only to the 
face-down output tray.
•When printing envelopes, output them to the face-up output tray. If envelopes are output 
to the face-down output tray, this may result in misfeeds.
•The surroundings of the face-down 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 face-down output tray.
NOTE
The face-down output tray can hold up to approximately 250 sheets of plain paper (64 g/
m2). The paper capacity varies depending on the paper type and paper size. For more 
details, see Paper Capacity of the Output Trays, on p. 3-18.

Face-up Output Tray
Printed paper is output to the face-up output tray on the rear of the printer unit with 
the printed side facing up. The face-up output tray is suitable to print 
transparencies, labels, or envelopes which tend to curl, since the printed paper is 
output flattened.
IMPORTANT
•Be sure to close the face-up output tray before performing automatic 2-sided printing.
•The surroundings of the face-up 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 face-up output tray.
NOTE
The face-up output tray can hold up to approximately 50 sheets of plain paper (64 g/m2). 
The paper capacity varies depending on the paper type and paper size. For more details, 
see Paper Capacity of the Output Trays, on p. 3-18.

Printing from the Paper Cassette
The paper cassette can be loaded with plain paper (64 to 80 g/m2), heavy paper 
(90 to 120 g/m2) at sizes of A4, B5, A5, Legal, Letter, Executive, and Custom Size. 
When the paper cassette runs out of paper,  appears in the 
display, or the Paper Source indicator blinks indicating the status. Refill the 
cassette.
This printer comes with a paper cassette (Cassette 1) as standard. Cassette 2 is 
added by installing the optional paper feeder.
When printing from the paper cassette, you need to specify the following settings.
IMPORTANT
•Match the settings for CASSETTE1 SIZE and CASSETTE2 SIZE in the SETUP menu of 
the printer and those in the printer driver. If they do not match, the message  appears. In this case, the settings for CASSETTE1 SIZE and CASSETTE2 SIZE 
are changed to those in the printer driver by pressing [Online], allowing you to continue 
printing.
•If you are printing from Cassette 2, make sure that Cassette 1 is set before printing. If you 
print from Cassette 2 when Cassette 1 is not set, this will cause paper ja\
ms.
NOTE
If you are printing from an operating system on which the printer driver cannot be used, 
previously specify the paper source to CASSETTE 1 or CASSETTE 2. (See p. 3-12)
■ Loading Paper in a Paper Cassette (See p. 3-23)
