Choosing a Paper Path
The printer includes two built-in paper sources, the multipurpose tray and
the standard paper cassette. If you have the large capacity paper unit, you
have three additional paper cassettes. If you have the A3W paper cassette,
you can use it for A3W (12.9 × 17.8-inch) paper only.
Two output trays are available, the face-down tray for normal printing on
plain paper, and the face-up tray, which provides a straight-through paper
path from the multipurpose tray.
The following illustrations show the paper paths available:
