Priority input tray
The priority input tray is accessed from the front of the product. The product prints from the priority input
tray before attempting to print from tray 1.

or one card. You can use the priority input tray to print the first page on media different from the remainder

Media guides ensure that the media is correctly fed into the product and...

NOTE:When you add new media, make sure that you remove all of the media from the input tray and
