LOADING PAPER IN THE LARGE CAPACITY TRAYS

Use the large capacity trays for outputting massive prints that cannot be processed using the regular tray. The large capacity trays store a maximum of 5000 sheets of paper (2500 sheets for tray 5 and 2500 sheets for tray 6) from A3W (12" × 18") to B5R (7-1/4" × 10-1/2"R).

Other than plain paper, special media such as tab paper and transparency film can be loaded into the large capacity trays. To load tab paper, the dedicated guide must be installed.

Caution

Do not place heavy objects on the tray or press down on the tray.
To check the type and size of paper:

Forcefully inserting the paper may cause skewed feeding and paper misfeeds.
