This chapter provides speciﬁc information on paper handling: Overview • Paper speciﬁcations • Paper sources and paper trays • Manual feeding and loading of paper, including letterhead, pre-printed stationery, envelopes, labels, and transparencies • Paper source mapping • Printing In this guide, paper source refers to the slot or opening where paper enters the printer.
Page 16: Paper Input
4 5 2 0 / 4 5 2 0 m p U s e r ’ s G u i d e Paper input sources are the slots or openings where paper enters the printer. As shown in Figure 2.1, the 4520/4520mp printers have four paper input sources: three on the front and one on the back.
Page 17: Paper Output
As shown in Figure 2.2, printed output is delivered face down Paper to the top output tray and face up to the front output tray. Output Output capacity on top is up to 500 sheets of standard weight paper and up to 250 sheets on the front. Figure 2.2 Top Output Tray (also known as the...
Page 18: Paper Specifications
For optimum printer performance, it is recommended that you use paper made for laser printers and transparency ﬁlm made for Xerox laser printers and copiers. The recommended weight of envelope paper should not exceed 90 gms (24 lb) or jamming may result. Envelopes should lay ﬂat.

Page 20 The Xerox printer driver supports all paper sizes in Figure 2.3. However, if you do not install—or your application does not use—the Xerox printer driver, some of these paper sizes may not be available for your use. Refer to the Document Services for Printing Guide for more information on the Xerox printer driver.
Page 21: Paper Trays
Paper Trays As shown in Figure 2.4, the 4520/4520mp printers are packaged with three 250-sheet paper trays and one single-sheet bypass feeder (SBF). Figure 2.4 Single-sheet Bypass Feeder (SBF) Additional paper handling options are available. See “Optional Feeders” (page 2-13) for more information on the multi-sheet bypass feeder (MBF), the high-capacity feeder (HCF), and the high-capacity envelope feeder (HCEF).
