There is a paper tray [A] and a by-pass tray [B].
The paper tray holds 250 sheets. The by-pass tray can hold 100 sheets of paper.
The paper feed roller [C] drives the top sheet of paper from the paper tray to the
registration rollers [D].
The paper tray has a friction pad [E] which allows only one sheet to feed at a time.
When the paper tray is closed after the paper is loaded, the paper size actuator
(behind the paper size indicator, which is located at the front right of the tray)
pushes the tray paper size switch. This informs the CPU what paper size is loaded
in the tray and that the tray is in place.
The tray can be extended manually to hold paper longer than A4/Letter size.
