Selecting the output bin
The printer has two output locations: the rear output bin and the top output bin. To use
the top output bin, be sure the rear output bin is closed. To use the rear output bin, open
it.
● If paper coming out of the top output bin has problems, such as excessive curl, try
printing to the rear output bin.
● To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output bin while the printer is
printing.
Printing to the top output bin
The top output bin collects paper face-down, in correct order. The top output bin should
be used for most print jobs and for transparencies.
Printing to the rear output bin
The printer always prints to the rear output bin if the bin is open. Paper printed to this bin
will be face-up, with the last page on top.
To open the rear output bin, grasp the handle at the top of the bin. Pull the bin down, and
slide out the extension.
Printing from Tray 1 to the rear output bin provides the straightest paper path (which can
reduce curl). Opening the rear output bin might improve performance with the following:
● envelopes
● labels
● small custom-size paper
● postcards
● paper heavier than 105 g/m

(28 lb)
Note Opening the rear output bin disables the duplexer (if installed) and the top output bin.
