Using the output bin 30 Media specifications Using the output bin The output bin holds up to 250 sheets of 20 lb paper and is located on top of the printer. The output bin collates print jobs facedown. The output bin supports all media listed in Media sizes and support. Loading the trays Your printer has three trays to select from: the standard tray (tray 1), also known as the 250-sheet tray or 250-sheet letter- size tray, the optional 250-sheet legal-size tray (tray 1), or an optional 530-sheet tray (tray 2), which is part of the 530-sheet drawer and fits into the support unit. Load the paper or specialty media you use for the majority of your print jobs in tray 1. Proper media loading helps prevent jams and helps make your printing trouble-free. Note:You use either the standard tray or the optional 250-sheet legal size tray in the printer. Only one tray may be used at a time. Either tray is considered tray 1. Do not remove trays while a job prints or while Please Wait blinks on the operator panel. Doing so may cause a jam.

Using the media support in the output bin 37 Media specifications Using the media support in the output bin Use the media support so a stack of media does not skew in the output bin. To use the media support: 1Grasp the edges of the media support at the indentations in the output bin. 2Lift the media support. 3Lower the media support into place so that it is now at an angle. The media support is inclined so your stacked media now remains in a neater stack in the output bin. Note:Do not leave the media support inclined if you are printing transparencies.
