Paper types and weights supported by the output bins
Use this table to determine the possible output destinations of print jobs which use supported paper types and
weights. The paper capacity of each output bin is listed in parentheses. Paper capacity estimations are
calculated based on 75 g/m
2
(20 lb) paper.
The finisher supports 60–176 g/m2 (16–47 lb) paper weights. The 5-bin mailbox supports 60–90 g/m2 (16–24 lb)
paper weights.

Selecting the appropriate media for the printer helps avoid printing problems.
