USING THE OUTPUT SUPPORT
 The surface of the output tray may become hot if you print a large 
number of pages at once. Make sure that you do not touch the 
surface, and do not allow children near it.
The printed pages stack on the output support, and the output support will 
help the printed pages to align. The printer sends output to the output tray 
by default. To use the output tray, make sure that the rear cover is closed.
 If you are using A5 paper, fold the output tray. Otherwise, printed 
pages might be mis-aligned or jammed.
Stacking papers firmly
If you use a machine in a humid area, or you are using the damp print media 
caused by a high humidity, the print-outs on the output tray may be curled 
and may not be stacked properly. In this case, you can set the machine to 
use the Paper Stacking  function to let print-outs stacked firmly. But, using 
this function will make the print speed slow.

Getting the small sized printout
When you have printed a small sized printout like an envelop or a custom 
sized printout, it may not be placed on the output support, due to its small 
size.
In this case, get the printout pulling up the scan unit and close it again for 
the futu

re use.
After getting a printout, close the scan unit by pressing the scan unit close 
button.

Using overlay
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive 
(HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. 
Overlays are often used to take the place of letterhead paper. Rather than 
using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing exactly 
the same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter 
with your company’s letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted 
letterhead paper in the machine just print the letterhead overlay on your 
document.
