Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What does the extra letter designation "LT" stand for at the end of this model number code?
  The "LT" indicates that this model comes factory-configured with dual lower paper trays out of the box. It features two individual 250-sheet cassettes stacked together, giving you a total standard paper capacity of 500 sheets and allowing you to load two different paper types simultaneously.
• Does this office workgroup laser printer layout support printing in full color?
  No. This is a dedicated monochrome device that prints exclusively in black and white using heat-fused black laser toner powder.
• Can this dual-tray printer execute automatic double-sided duplex printing in a single pass?
  No. This model does not include an internal mechanical automatic duplexing engine. Double-sided document tracking requires passing your sheets through consecutive manual feeding cycles.
