Basically all I want to know is, can you use the lower tray (not sure if it's an output or input tray) to feed paper?

The image tells me it is output only, with the input being at the rear.

The reason I ask, is I only have about 9" of shelf space for a printer - therefore a rear tray going up against the wall, is quite simply out of the question. :(

hey,

I have the IP4000 Printer, Its the same as the IP4200 but they have changed the look a little.

The printer allows you to feed from either paper tray bottom/top (Both are inputs). There is a button on the front which allows you to select a paper tray. I always use the bottom tray for A4, and open up the top tray sometimesfor 4x6.

Its a an amazing printer, esp for the money and its really good on ink too.

Hope this helps buddy ;)

Pretty much what I wanted to hear.

Can't be much worse than my HP Deskjet 3820 that's now in multiple pieces. ;)

TBH I didn't my 3820. It seemed reliable enough, but it was a bit sluggish on photo prints and couldn't print on CDs or do borderless printing.

Basically on the last it made grinding noises, chewed paper up, and point-blank refused to acknowledge any print job. So, with the aid of a flat-headed screwdriver, I forced the top cover off. :)

My Canon should be with my next week. :cool:

It is as explained above. The bottom should actually be a better feed as I believe it also allows duplex printing (correct term I think), from what I remember when settting the g/f's up.

You can close it, as in put the lid on the paper cartridge, but when you slot the tray in back in to the printer the paper tray sticks out about 2/3 inches, just down to the fact the the printer is not deep enough to take the complete depth of the paper when the paper is sitting flat.

Still looks good though, you wouldn't even notice the reason why it stuck out if you didn't know, it just looks like part of the printer design.

Ok. I will give that a go then. Be nice to leave the A4 paper in the bottom tray!! Does the paper stick out or does it go over the end that is inside the printer?

it doesnt stick out of the cartridge at all, the cartridge slides out to fully accommodate the paper, and then there is a little lid that goes over the bit of the cartridge that sticks out of the front to cover the paper up.
