500-sheet paper feeder
The HP Color LaserJet 5500dtn and HP Color LaserJet 5550dtn printers are equipped with
an additional 500-sheet paper feeder. The HP Color LaserJet 5500hdn is equipped with two
additional 500-sheet paper feeders, and the HP Color LaserJet 5550hdn is equipped with
three additional 500-sheet paper feeders. The 500-sheet paper feeder is optional on the
HP Color LaserJet 5500, 5500n, 5500dn, and the HP Color LaserJet 5550, 5550n, and
5550dn. With the HP Color LaserJet 5500 models, the maximum optional 500-sheet paper
feeders that can be installed is two. (Tray 3 and Tray 4). With the HP Color LaserJet 5550
models, the maximum optional 500-sheet paper feeders that can be installed is three
(Tray 3, Tray 4, and Tray 5). These optional 500-sheet paper feeders operate the same as
Tray 2.
Figure 5-42. Additional 500-sheet paper feeder shows the paper path with one
additional 500-sheet paper feeder (Tray 3) installed. It feeds through Tray 3 first, and then
into the printer. The same would be true if a third optional 500-sheet paper feeder (Tray 5 for
HP Color LaserJet 5550 models only) is installed. The paper would feed through Tray 4,
Tray 3, and into the printer.
