Output tray

The output tray is located on the top of the printer. Since printouts are output face-down, this tray is
also referred to as the face-down tray. Up to 250 sheets can be stacked when using the A4-size plain
paper.

Note:

Extend the paper support to accommodate the size of the paper loaded in the MP tray or lower paper
cassette to prevent it from slipping off the printer.
