high-volume transparencies. The optional 500-sheet High-capacity Paper Tray Assembly
gives the printer a two-tray capability. With the addition of a second High-capacity Paper
Tray, the printer has a three-tray capability. (The High-capacity Paper Tray Assembly is
sometimes referred to as a lower feeder; it only supports paper printing.) The printer can
also print six sizes of handfed envelopes.
