Internal tray 1
Copied/printed paper and received fax pages are delivered here. And the paper is output under the paper holder attached inside the internal tray.
Front cover
Open to access the inside of the machine.
Paper trays (Trays 1, 2)
Standard paper trays. Load paper here.
Lower paper trays (Trays 3, 4)
Optional paper trays. Load paper here.
Vents
Holes for ventilating the inside the machine to prevent the internal components from overheating.
After large-volume printing, the ventilation fan may continue to work to lower the temperature inside the machine.
Note the following when using the paper holder of the internal tray:
Once you have drawn out the output sheet on the top of the internal tray, do not push the sheet back under the paper holder. The paper holder does not work on the output sheet properly and may cause a paper jam.
