Main tray: The main tray can hold and automatically load multiple sheets of media.
Only thin, flexible media can be loaded into this tray, due to the bending that media
is subject to as it passes through the printer from this tray.

●

Specialty media tray: The specialty media tray is designed primarily for thick, rigid
media. Paper from this tray is fed straight through the printer, without being bent.
When you use this tray, check that there is clear space behind the printer at least
equal to the length of the media you are printing on. Load one sheet of media at a
time into this tray, and be sure that the media is no thicker than 1.5 mm. Single
sheets of lightweight paper can also be loaded into this tray.

Both trays support a wide range of media sizes, from 7.6 x 12.7 cm to 32 x 48 cm
(3 x 5 inches to 13 x 19 inches). See
