Specifications
Standard and Optional/Paper Trays
The printer’s standard paper tray holds up to 150 sheets of
various standard-size papers, including letter, legal, A4, and
executive. For other sizes and exact specifications, see
Appendix A.
In addition, you can print on special stock such as heavy paper,
envelopes, labels, or transparencies. To do so, you need to
manually feed single sheets one at a time. See the section
“Printing on Special Paper” later in this chapter.
Two optional paper trays are available. An optional lower
paper cassette holds up to 250 letter-size sheets, increasing the
printer’s paper capacity so that up to 400 sheets can be printed
without having to reload. An optional faceup output tray can
be installed to receive pages that have been printed face up. For
more information about the optional paper cassette and faceup
output tray, see Appendix C.
Choosing Paper
For best results, use paper made especially for laser printers or
plain-paper copiers. Paper should be of good quality and
relatively smooth with a weight between 60 and 90 g/m
2
(16 and 24 lb). Because the printer is sensitive to moisture,
always store paper in a dry place.
You may use colored paper but not paper to which a clear or
colored coating has been added. When using preprinted paper
stock such as letterheads, use papers and inks designed for
laser printers. Ordinary inks or dyes may smear or come off
when subjected to the high temperature of the fuser. Always
test samples of paper stock before purchasing large amounts.
