Where can print media be loaded in the printer?

Where can print media be loaded in the printer?

Your printer has two standard paper sources: a 250-sheet tray and a single-sheet manual feeder. Use the 250-sheet tray for
most print jobs. Use the manual feeder for a single piece of paper, transparency, envelope, paper label, card stock, or index
card.

The output bin on top of the printer holds up to 150 sheets. The single-sheet rear exit provides a straight-through path to
help reduce curling and potential jams. This is especially useful for specialty media, such as transparencies, envelopes,
paper labels, card stock, or index cards.
