Paper Output
Output Tray Type
This printer is fitted with two output trays, the Output Tray on the top of the printer 
and the Sub-Output Tray on the rear.
■Output Tray
Pages are output to the output tray on the top of the printer with the printed side facing 
down.
NOTE
The output tray can hold up to approximately 125 sheets of plain paper (64 g/m2).
■Sub-Output Tray
Pages are output to the sub-output tray on the rear of the printer with the printed side 
facing up. Because paper output to the sub-output tray is ejected directly from the printer, 
it is suitable for printing on transparencies, envelopes and other media that is easy to curl.

unit becomes hot while the printer is in use, take care to avoid touching this 
area. Doing so may cause burns.

Printing on Plain Paper, Heavy Paper or Transparencies
Use the following procedure to load plain paper, heavy paper, or transparencies.
IMPORTANT
•Transparencies can only be printed in black and white.
•Thoroughly fan through each sheet before loading transparencies as they easily stick to 
each other.
•The printing speed drops when printing transparencies.
1Open the multi-purpose tray and pull out the auxiliary tray.
Refer to Opening the Multi-Purpose Tray, on p. 2-16 for instructions on opening 
the multi-purpose tray.
2Push the paper guides out a little bit wider than the actual 
paper width.
3When loading transparencies, fan them in small batches and 
line up the edges.
Fan a few pages at a time Align the edges by tapping lightly 
a few times on a flat surface

CAUTION
When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands with the edges of the 
paper.
IMPORTANT
•Make sure to thoroughly separate individual sheets of transparency before loading 
them. If the sheets are sufficiently separated, multiple sheets will feed at once 
causing paper jams.
•When fanning or aligning the transparencies, try to hold the edges to avoid 
touching the printing surface.
•Take care not to mark or stain the printing surface of the transparencies with 
fingerprints, dust, or oil, as this may result in poor print quality.
4Gently load the stack of paper with the printing side facing up 
until it touches the back of the tray.
Be sure that the stack of paper passes under the paper limit guides.
CAUTION
When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands with the edges of the 
paper.
IMPORTANT
•The multi-purpose tray can be loaded with up to the number of sheets listed below.
-Plain Paper:  Approx. 125 sheets (64 g/m2)
-Heavy Paper:  Approx. 80 sheets (128 g/m2)
-Transparency:  Approx. 60 sheets
•Check that there is sufficient clear space between the paper limit guides and the 
paper. If there is no free space, slightly reduce the amount of paper.
•Load the paper so that it is straight.
•If the rear edge of the paper stack is not properly aligned, the paper may misfeed or 
become jammed.
•If the paper is curled or folded at the corners, flatten it out before loading.

•If you use paper that has been poorly cut, the paper may have a tendency to 
double-feed. In this case, thoroughly line up the edges of the paper on a flat 
surface before loading it.
NOTE
To print on letterhead paper or paper with a logo already printed on it, load the 
paper so that the printed side is facing up, as shown below.

5Adjust the paper guides to meet both sides of the stack.
IMPORTANT
•Always make sure the paper guides match the width of the paper. If the paper 
guides are too loose or too tight, the paper will not feed properly and this will cause 
paper jams.
•Store unopened transparencies at a temperature between 0 and 35°C (32 to 
95°F) and a humidity between 35 and 85%.
•Avoid leaving the transparencies exposed to air. Store them in their packaging.
•Do not touch the paper in the multi-purpose tray or pull it out during printing as this 
may cause printer errors.
