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. This tray can hold up to 250 sheets. Raise the stopper to prevent your printouts from slipping off the printer.

If the printouts do not stack well, open the extension on the stopper on the output tray.
