Panasonic KX-PS8000 - Manual (Page 38)

The multi-purpose tray (MPT) serves as an additional tray for loading any type of
media that ranges in size from 91 mm x 254 mm to 216 mm x 356 mm (3.6
² x 10² to
8.5 ² x 14²). Use it to load a single sheet or a stack of media. The amount of media
you can load depends upon its thickness.
Use the multi-purpose tray to accomplish the following:
Print on standard and special media
BStandard media
¾ Laser paper [75 to 165 g/m
2 (20 to 44 lbs.)]
BSpecial media
¾ Labels
¾ Envelope (#10 or larger size)* [Black Text only]
¾ Transparency (The print quality may not be stable. Use the media tray for
best reliability.)
¾ Coated paper
* If the Envelope is larger than #10, you must select a paper size that is larger than
your envelope ( ☞ P. 124, P. 126, P. 133 of the Utilities and Drivers Reference
Guide).
Two-sided printing (double-sided) on laser paper
You should not expect the same print quality and reliability that you get with one-
sided printing. For details, refer to
page 151 .
