Introduction
In this chapter, you will become familiar with the features
of your printer and learn where to locate specific printer
parts.
Before you use your printer, make sure that you perform
all of the steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide that
came with your printer, and connect the necessary cables.
Your printer may also have one or more optional features
installed. First verify your exact equipment options before
proceeding further. If you see features described in this
section that are not available with the equipment you
have, you can easily add them yourself. For more
information, refer to the separate Supplies/Options Guide
provided with your printer.
Printer Features
Chapter 1: Getting to Know Your Printer 1-3
Printer Features
Your printer has many special features that allow you to
achieve the results you need for your specific print job.
Features vary slightly according to the options you are
using and the memory installed in your printer. This
section will help you become familiar with your printer's
features and capabilities.
Paper Handling
Your printer has several paper source and paper output
options as described below and in Figure 1.5 on page 1-8.
For a listing of supported media types and sizes, refer to
the section Selecting Print Media” (page 2-2).
Paper Sources
•The standard
multi bypass feeder
functions as either a
single sheet manual feed tray or a tray for up to 150
sheets.
Tray 1
is the standard 500 sheet input source.
Tray 2
is the optional input source installed
immediately below Tray 1. This may be a 500 sheet
feeder or the 2,000 sheet feeder.
Tray 3
is the optional input source installed
immediately below Tray 2. This is only available if Tray
2 is not the 2,000 sheet feeder, and may be another
500 sheet feeder or the 2,000 sheet feeder.
Trays 1, 2 and 3 all have automatic paper size sensing, low
paper sensing, and paper out sensing. The multi bypass
feeder has low paper sensing and paper out sensing. Refer
to Chapter 2: Loading Print Media for instructions on
loading the trays.
