The printer has a 250-sheet tray (Tray 1) with an integrated manual feeder. The 250-sheet tray and the 650-sheet duo tray support the same paper sizes and types and are loaded in the same way.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of equipment instability, load each tray separately. Keep all other trays closed until needed.
