opens on the Control Panel.

3. Touch Confirm.
4. When printing Extra Long Sheets, use the Top
Tray Extension Rails to support the long paper.
These rails may already be inserted into the PR
Finisher’s tray, in which case you only have to pull
them out to their full extension. They may also be
stored at the back of the finisher, in a storage bin.
If the rails are in the storage bin, simply retrieve
them and insert them into the holes in the end of
the tray.
